Bug ID: 364620 Summary: Changes made to syntax file is not loaded Product: kate Version: unspecified Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: syntax Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: gillesgalip...@gmail.com The changes made to the file /usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/bash.xml are not loaded when restarting kate. I also tried downloading the most recent syntax (Settings -> Kate config -> Open/Save -> File types -> Download syntax-highlighting files) and copy the bash.xml to the new folder created (~/.local/share/katepart5/syntax) but still does not load the change made to the file. Environment: Ubuntu 16.04 Kate 15.12.3 Using: KDE Frameworks 5.18.0 Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1) The xcb windowing system Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open syntax file /usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/bash.xml with sudo access 2. Edit the language / general / keywords as follow: weakDeliminator="^%_-" additionalDeliminator="`$#" 3. Restart kate and open a bash script 4. Double click on a string starting with "$" or on text surrounded by square or curly braces Actual Results: The special characters are not considered as delimiter; they are also highlighted Expected Results: The special characters should not be highlighted This is working fine with the same syntax file on my Ubuntu 14.04 workstation -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
