Hello Kamaraju, The distributed ftplugin file for fortran sets a variable called 'b:fortran_fixed_source' to let the syntax file know how to highlight. The 'bad highlighting' is because the ftplugin file isn't being executed (for some reason?) and so the syntax defaults to using wrong highlighting (it's looking for numbers at the start of each line). Curiously, my Vim doesn't have a problem with opening a session and choosing the correct highlighting, so I wonder if something in your custom ftplugin or syntax files is preventing the distributed ftplugin file from detecting the fortran format correctly? Is there any chance you could paste the contents of your .vim/ftplugin/fortran.vim into an email?
At any rate, using ':setfiletype fortran' should fix the problem straight away. regards, Peter --- Kamaraju Kusumanchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When I save and load a session, the syntax highlighting is messed up. > > I am able to reproduce the problem as follows.
