Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit
Opening the gedit Preferences dialogue (Edit->Preferences) no long has a tab for Syntax Highlighting as it does in Feisty. While the "Fonts&Colours" tab now has "Color Schemes", there does not appear to be any way to remap color preferences for Syntax Highlighting. The result is that if a custom .lang file is installed, there is no way to enable it to actually produce highlighting (since new styles default to no highlighting). This is in contrast to the clear method of changing highlighting preferences in the Feisty version (gedit 2.18.1). It seems that this change occurred with the updates on 2007-08-01: (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/2.19.3-0ubuntu1) gedit (2.19.3-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low * New upstream release: - New Features and Fixes - Remove color settings and syntax highlighting editor from the preferences dialog and use a style scheme selector Removing the color settings was the correct thing to do, as the Color Scheme selector replaced that, but the Color Schemes do not seem to provide any mechanism for editing syntax highlighting preferences, and so I don't believe the syntax highlighting editor should have been removed. Additionally, the documentation still refers to the syntax highlighting editor within the "Preferences" section of the help. (It also refers to the Color preferences as opposed to themes, which should presumably be changed) Thanks! -Gabriel ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [gusty] Syntax Highlighting tab is no longer present in the preferences dialogue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
