Syntax Highlighting bug

[Max]

Dear all,
Using CB 2317 (Windows XP SP2) I got the following bug

Open Setting->Editor->Syntax Highlighting

Using the default color them click on "keyword" and select "Set 2" (it should be the user keyword set, isn't it?),

try to add a keyword to the list (currently I have the following list
DWORD HWND HINSTANCE
) for example add the keywod HANDLE.


Click OK and OK again to close the setting window.


The bug is: The modification is lost. No new keyword are really added.


My default.conf has

<editor>
   <keywords>
        <SET1>
      <str>DWORD HWND HINSTANCE</str>
        </SET1>
   </keywords>
   </editor>


manually modifying it to

<editor>
   <keywords>
        <SET1>
      <str>DWORD HWND HINSTANCE HANDLE</str>
        </SET1>
   </keywords>
   </editor>

seems to work.


I am correctly using the right procedure to add a new user keyword?

Regards

Massimo

In addition,

changing settings in the settings menu "sometimes" my customized default color highlight choices are lost. The
default colors turn to the original setting, loosing my customization.

I lost, for example, the color stettings change the toolbar icon size from 22x22 to 16x16 an back to 22x22.
This is an example. There are other ways to reproduce the bug, playing with the settings option it is simple to
observe the bug.

Am I doing something in the wrong way? Is the "default" not customizable?

Regards

Max

Your're not alone. A number of us are experiencing
the loss of editor settings. Posts about this are
all over the forum.

It seems that in default.conf, only the current changes are being recorded.
For example, here is Active line before changing the background.

Code

				<cc>
					<style17>
						<BACK>
							<colour r="255" g="0" b="255" />
						</BACK>
						<NAME>
							<str>Active line</str>
						</NAME>
					</style17>

Here is what is recorded when next changing the background.

Code

				<cc>
					<style0>
						<BACK>
							<colour r="255" g="222" b="168" />
						</BACK>
						<NAME>
							<str>Default</str>
						</NAME>
					</style0>

The active line change has been wiped out.

Will see if I can find the source of this...

Here's a proposed fix for this problem. It seems editorcolorset.cpp::save() was deleting the previous user settings
before writing the new user setting.

I'll submit a bug patch to berlios.
