Public bug reported: Using libgtksourceview2 2.26.0-2ubuntu1 with Ubuntu 10.04.
It seems as if gtk-source-view performs a mere search for strings without regard to context. In the case of a selector name: if you choose a name that can also be a property value it will be highlighted as if it were a property value and not like any other arbitrary selector name. Examples: span.class1 { padding: 0; } /* This is the regular highlighting of a selector */ pre.class2 { margin: 0; } /* The keyword 'pre' can also be a property value and thus is highlighted as such */ div.bottom { margin: 0; } /* The keyword 'bottom' can also be a property value and thus is highlighted as such */ div.hover { text-align: left; } /* The keyword 'hover' can also be a name for a pseudo-class */ div.lang { margin: 0; } /* The keyword 'lang' can also be an attribute of a selector */ div.white { padding:0; } /* The keyword 'white' can also be a color value */ ** Affects: gtksourceview2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtksourceview2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/764577 Title: Wrong CSS highlighting for selector names that can also be value keywords -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
