Bug ID: 461942
Summary: When (auto-)reloading a syntax-highlighted source
file, HL/mode gets forgotten if it isn't set by
default
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 22.08.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: part
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: miro.kropa...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a source file
2. Change Tools -> Mode to something else (I tested *.asm and set it to
Assembler/Motorola 68k)
3. Externally change something in that file
4. In the dialog/popup, enable auto-reloading
5. Change something externally again
6. Observe how file is updated but its syntax highlighting (and mode) is lost.
OBSERVED RESULT
It seems that this doesn't apply for files which are opened in a correct
mode/HL. However for others (with manually changed mode) not only the mode/HL
isn't kept but mode/HL is lost in general, i.e. not even the default one is
set.
Also, please note that the mode/HL is kept selected in Tools/Assembler/Motorola
68k so the information isn't totally lost.
EXPECTED RESULT
I'd like to avoid setting the mode again and again. :)
