Bug ID: 447902
Summary: Highlight Editing UI does not work as expected
Product: frameworks-syntax-highlighting
Version: 5.88.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: framework
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: fatger...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When using the Color Theme editing UI in KDevelop or Kate, it does not apply
the colors I select. For some things it does, but for others -eg 'Function'
changing the color makes no difference to the display. Even editing the theme
file by hand does not make a difference.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the Color Theme Editor in eg KDevelop
2. Make a copy of one of the built-in themes.
3. Set the new theme as the default and then start changing colors and hitting
'Apply'. Some work, some do not. This applies to both the Default Colors and
the Language Specific Highlighting. The list of what does not work is extensive
and seems to be Language-dependant, but at least for me it always includes
'Function'. Changing the text to Bold *does* work, but changing the color does
not.
OBSERVED RESULT
As an experiment I changed every single color for the Default Settings, PHP/PHP
and PHP/HTML Languages to bright red. Most things went red, but functions,
variables, and some other elements did not. Variables were observed to be in 3
different colors with no apparent logic to what color was used when.
EXPECTED RESULT
The colors I select should be used consistently everywhere.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro-ARM RPi
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is the only thing stopping me from using KDevelop, it has a killer feature
set but I have a color theme I've got used to over 20 years and I cannot cope
without it.
