Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit
When a .vala file starts with a comment, not all of the syntax will be colored correctly. For an example, use this code from http://live.gnome.org/Vala/BasicSample /* Basic Vala Sample Code */ using GLib; public class Sample : Object { public Sample () { } public void run () { stdout.printf ("Hello World\n"); } static int main (string[] args) { var sample = new Sample (); sample.run (); return 0; } } Save as sample.vala. To get proper highlighting, you will have to delete the comment and any newlines before the first line of code, and then save. If you insert the comment again and then save, the syntax will again lose highlighting. This holds true for /* multiline */ and // singleline comments. Basically, as long as there is a comment before the first line of vala code, gedit will not highlight correctly.
