Gedit doesn't recognise IDL syntax highlighting

[shclim]

Binary package hint: gedit

Gedit doesn't offer syntax highlighting for IDL scripts (i.e., .pro files). An IDL highlighting option seems to be available but enabling it (View -> Highlighting Mode --> Sources) doesn't do anything. I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.10 but have had the same problem since 7.04.

btw, It works automatically in Kate

IDL: http://ittvis.com/idl/
GDL: http://gnudatalanguage.sourceforge.net/

Thanks for your report, Can you attach that IDL file for testing purposes? thanks.

Thanks, there's no highlight here either, will look/forward upstream as soon as bugzilla is up again, thanks you!.

Reassigning to match the product of the upstream bug.

I have sent and email to the GTkSourceView mailing list upstream requesting that the IDL lang file be added to the package so fingers crossed.
