Wrong syntax highlighting for umlauts in XML mode

[Patrick Gundlach]

Binary package hint: gedit

When switch to XML mode and edit an xml file which has german umlauts (ä for example) in an attribute name, the attribute gets highlighted as "incorrect" or so it seems. Example:

<Seitenformat breite="150mm" höhe="200mm" />

I use gedit in ubuntu 9.04, which is 2.26.1.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance.

I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 natty and experience a similar problem. Instead of having only two letters (from the screenshot) highlighted, there are now all letters in a word with umlauts (üöä) highlighted as incorrect. Still this is clearly a bug.

will send it upstream, thanks a lot.
