Kate Perl syntax highlighting doesn't highlight literal numbers with underscores correctly.

[Brian Beck]

Binary package hint: kate

The syntax highlighting for literal numbers with underscores is not working properly. Only the first grouping of digits is highlighted. For example if one types in 50_000 only the 50 is highlighted. The whole number should be highlighted. I will attach a screenshot to make this more clear.

Version: 3.5.6-0ubuntu1

Confirmed.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Still a problem with kate 3.1.1. This needs to be reported upstream at bugs.kde.org, and the link to that report linked here.

Still a problem with kate version 4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid1

I report a similar problem.
A variable name $_config is not highlighted correctly, as the parser separates "$_" and "config".

Oh, probably the right package is this?

libsyntax-highlight-engine-kate-perl

[Alessandro Ghersi (alessandro-ghersi)]

Still a problem?

[Brian Beck (brian-beck76)]

This is still a problem. I'm running the latest RC of Kubuntu 10.10 with Kate version 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu3. I have attached a screenshot of the problem.

Just an idea. Maybe, the file that has to be modified is:

/usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/perl.xml

I am not able modifying it.
