Geany stores whatever syntax it was using and never checks again […]. Stopping and starting Geany will not "fix" an existing opened file.

Isn't that the only real issue here?

No. I had many files to choose from. I closed all that were open. I bounced Geany and chose different .F77 files. I just replicated the entire problem on this system as well.

I made the change to extensions, saved the file, bounced Geany, loaded a completely different .F77 file and had it not highlight. When *.F77; isn't dead last in the list, it works. When it is dead last highlighting does not work.

At this point I'm done. I've reported the bug, reproduced the bug on an entirely different system, and answered questions. I use pictures so I don't get pulled into a terminology war and now I'm being pulled into a terminology war. I always paste everything in the report because using something like Gist is exactly how critical information gets lost. Internet rot strikes without warning.

Thank you for your time.

I now have to go un-install Geany from the 6-8 machines that will be used for this project. They will either have to use Emacs to have a combined editor and GDB front end or split editor and GDB front end.

Fix it, don't fix it, I've reported it and replicated it on different OS.
