I just noticed something weird with my (G)Vim installation when editing generic config files. The syntax highlighting colors appear wrong. Could somebody do a test to confirm if this is really a bug or just a misconfiguration on my end?
To do the test, create two files both named "udev.rules" (perhaps in two different directories to avoid any collision). Put the following lines (with no blank lines above, below or between them) in the first file: # Line 1 is a comment colored Blue # Line 2 is a comment colored Blue Line 3 is not a comment, so is colored Black # Line 4 is a comment but colored Black And put the following lines (again with not blank lines abover, below or between them) in the second file: # Line 1 is a comment colored Blue # Line 2 is a comment colored Blue Line 3 is not a comment, so is colored Black () # Line 4 is a comment now colored Blue Now open the file in GVim. The dummy text of the two files should explain the problem. GVim displays the text in the colors I listed for each line. The colors for console-mode Vim should differ slightly but should display the same pattern. Note how addition of a pair of parentheses to Line 3 of the second file "causes" Line 4 to be displayed in the right "comment" color. -- Albert Einstein: Phantasie ist wichtiger als Wissen, denn Wissen ist begrenzt.
