Just a small bug, most likely something relating to Scintilla though.
Anyway, when using Pascal source files, the last "end." does not get syntax-highlighted unless there is a newline just below it. Free Pascal doesn't need a newline at the end of it's source files normally, so I don't normally place one there (and also turn this setting off in the Geany preferences), but it shouldn't really not highlight the last "end." if I miss this newline out, should it?
Also, if I do place a newline after the last "end.", so it syntax highlights, there is another bug where the code folding goes beyond the last end.
Nothing major, just thought I'd mention it.
The screenshot should explain it better than I can, I hope you don't mind attachments on this list, therefore I tried making the file as small in size as possible.

Thanks, I knew this and wanted to fix it but then something other came to my mind. Should be fixed now in r998. But I didn't tested it very well. I might be that the fix causes other wrong highlightings, so I hope you can test it with some more complex Pascal files than the new file template from Geany. If you don't find any other wrong highlightings, I'll send the fix to the Scintilla people.

Yes, I also noticed that while trying to fix the above but I think this is really not a big problem and I don't want to fix it. Patches are welcome and/or someone should file a bug at Scintilla's bug tracker.

Don't worry about the attachments. As long as it is something useful I have no problem ;-).

Thanks, I tested it, opened some fairly complex Pascal files and it appears to be fine, can't see any other obvious problems with the highlighting.
