GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 741426
Some metadata not restored (syntax highlight mode, spell checking language)
Last modified: 2014-12-14 16:30:32 UTC
In gedit 3.14, I open a *.m file, the highlight mode is by default Octave. I change it to "Matlab" (either via the gear menu or via the statusbar), I close the file and reopen it, it is still Octave. It seems that the highlight mode metadata is not saved, or at least not restored, even if I save the file. I don't think it's related to bug #736591, because the bug happens even if I have several files opened (so the mainloop is still running and the async operation to save the metadata should be finished).
Apparently the same bug occurs for the spell checking language.

It seems that the bug occurs only when the spell checker plugin is enabled.
