Description Miro Kropacek 2022-11-17 10:18:42 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open a source file
2.  Change Tools -> Mode to something else (I tested *.asm and set it to Assembler/Motorola 68k)
3.  Externally change something in that file
4. In the dialog/popup, enable auto-reloading
5. Change something externally again
6. Observe how file is updated but its syntax highlighting (and mode) is lost.

OBSERVED RESULT
It seems that this doesn't apply for files which are opened in a correct mode/HL. However for others (with manually changed mode) not only the mode/HL isn't kept but mode/HL is lost in general, i.e. not even the default one is set.

Also, please note that the mode/HL is kept selected in Tools/Assembler/Motorola 68k so the information isn't totally lost.

EXPECTED RESULT
I'd like to avoid setting the mode again and again. :)

    Ensure to set highlight on reload when file type was set by user
    
    This change do essentially nothing else than before, we only call
    updateFileType(..) direct and not by setMode() which allows bypassing
    the blocking in updateFileType(..)
