Bug: losing lexer references in Codelite Options

Post by metamorphosis »

This happens, or appears to happen, when I shutdown the computer without shutting down codelite first (codelite still closes, but the problem below occurs):

the .xml lexer files still exist, but the lexer currently being used disappears in the 'Syntax Highlight and Fonts' area, and the currently-used lexer shifts to the next available one the next time codelite is opened.

So at first it shifted from the default to Zrom-like, then it happened again and now it's on 'Dark'. The other two aren't available and I don't know how to reinstate them in the Syntax Highlight etc are, so I might have to reinstall codelite.
Strange stuff.
If it is not caused by shutting down on other's machines, without first shutting down codelite, it could be random, or an XP thing.

Running XP 32-bit, Sp3.

Update: uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't change the problem.
Tried deleting the almost-empty codelite folder, to no avail.
It's not in the registry.

Finally deleted the Documents and Settings/[User]/Application Settings/Codelite folder and reinstalled and it finally reverted to normal working conditions.

This is not a fix, just a workaround.

If I remember the `Default...` button should restore the color config and "fix" the problem...
