Description of problem: When you select a file type (e.g. php) from the "Syntax Highlighting" tab in Preferences, you should be able to change the "PHP Block" start pattern, however all boxes are empty. They should fill from the settings in /usr/share/bluefish/highlighting.default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bluefish-1.0.7-2.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit -> preferences -> Syntax Highlighting 2. Select PHP from filetype 3. Select an entry such as "PHP Block" Actual results: Details not shown Expected results: Details to be shown and editable. Additional info: I've tried changing settings directly in file with no affect. Syntax highlighting is working. If I use <?php...?>, I want to be able to edit it to use say <?...?>.
Hmm, yes, I can't seem to get the Syntax Highlighting preferences tab to do anything sane at all. Have you tried editing ~/.bluefish/highlighting ?
Hi. I edited ~/.bluefish/highlighting and the changes took effect but still don't show anything in the preferences tab. I also tried deleting the file and it was correctly copied from /usr/share/bluefish/highlighting.default to ~/.bluefish/ The permissions and ownership of the file seem fine.
This issue has been introduced with Gtk 2.20, however, we did not yet find the reason (any help is appreciated). More information at GNOME bugzilla.
