[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1577005] Re: Syntax highlight randomly stops being updated
Thank you for looking at the bug for the first time 2 years and a half after it was reported.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577005 Title: Syntax highlight randomly stops being updated Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: At random times it happens, while editing a text file in some programming language (I see it daily with PHP files), that: - you are editing the file somewhere in the middle of it - you type some unmatched opening quote, for example you start typing a string assignment.
