Highlight Mode is not remembered with files stored on NFS

[Imran Chaudhry]

Binary package hint: gedit

I have all my important files stored on an NFS share. I use the "Makefile" Highlight Mode for text files and if I set them on files that are stored on locally mounted NFS shares then that setting will be lost if I close and open the file again.

I just did a test and in fact, this seems to be the case with locally stored files too. Open file, set Highlight Mode, Close file, then re-Open and Highlight Mode is lost.

This worked file in the gedit on Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10).

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. Thanks in advance!

We use the metadata system provided by gio, so reassigning to them.
