Hm. I could think of a "corruption" of the rc_file in your users directory (~/.bluefish/). The way the pattern are stored is not the best (we are thinking about some improvements). Pattern can be split in this file. You could do me a favour and test the following, if it maybe solves your problem. First backup your users directory ${HOME}/.bluefish. 1) you can try to reset the highlighting pattern (follow the instructions in README.Debian) 2) remove the whole users ${HOME}/.bluefish directory and try again Is your problem solved?

Hm. I'm using the same GNOME version and everything works as expected. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
