SE doesn't reload language after update
« on: February 10, 2017, 10:20:27 pm »
I've been working to create a new language to color code bitbake recipe files in Yocto projects (which is a cross between Python and shell script with a few of their own rules thrown in just to confuse everyone).

What I've noticed is that as I work on the Language configuration, once I Apply a change, the file that I have associated with that language loses all its coloring.  The Document menu shows that I have the correct language.  If I go to [Document > Select Mode (BitBake)] and reselect the BitBake language I get my coloring back.  Shouldn't this just reload on its own when a change to the langauge coloring occurs?

You may be running into a bug I found. If you use color current line or color modified lines, the color coding is turned off when you apply your language settings. This will be fixed in 21.0.2.

Note: The color coding engine for v22 is considerably more powerful. Hard to say if you'll need any of it for this language.

I do have both those features turned on.  Looking forward to the fix!
