Hello all, I use gvim in Ubuntu 10.10. Yesterday I have been editing a Python file, I have made some changes to it but closed the program without a save. Today, upon opening the same file I got a message that the swap file already exists and whether or not I want to recover it. I clicked YES, to recover the changes I did not save yesterday. The problem is that now the syntax highlighting is gone. When I open other Python files located in the same directory syntax highlighting is on. I deleted all swap files from the current directory, moved the contents of the problematic file to filename_temp.py, saved it, and the quit gvim. Then, in the command window I type gvim filename_temp.py and I get syntax highlighting, but when I rename that file to filename.py, the original name of the file, I still do not get the syntax highlighted. How can I fix this problem? How can I get syntax highlighting back in the original file? I have tried issuing ":syntax on" but without success.
