Hi, recently files began to start losing their highlighting when editing in KDevelop. Symptoms are as follows: - After inserting a new line anywhere in a document, everything below the new line will lose its highlighting - When writing in the new line, the new code is highlighted correctly - Removing the new line restores correct highlighting in the rest of the file Yesterday after an older KDevelop showed the same behavior, I bisected fde333c87353e7c7424c7bce5cbc2f984bc868c1 in KTextEditor to have introduced this. Nothing there immediately appears to me to cause this. With the power of debug statements I confirmed that KDevelop reaches the "applyHighlighting" function (https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/-/blob/ master/kdevplatform/language/highlighting/codehighlighting.cpp#L519) and is not hitting any of the early returns. Then follows some range logic and I did see that the setAttribute calls at the end are also happening. I'm not sure if the KTextEditor change surfaced a bug in KDevelop (somewhere in the range manipulation?) or if something in KTextEditor is not working correctly. Best Regards, David
