I have a Text Editor i've made using the TextEditor control an di was using it yesterday on a bash script of mine.
A 700+ line bash script.
I was looking at the different "Highlighting" options it has as it does not have a shell one so i had to find the best one.
Before i saved my script i had not noticed something...
Setting the Highlight option to "gambas" on the TextEditor actually re-formats the entire text to suit gambas.
And it really does not suit bash scriptiing.
I just spent 4-5 hours repairing the script reformatting it to be correct and looking for tiny little erros cause by gambas moving text around.
bloody nightmare
Attached are 2 bash scripts.
One is a working script.
The other is just how messed up it gets just by choosing the gambas highlighting style on a TextEditor.
PS. selecting any other highlight style does not change the text oinly gambas style.
So be warned.

If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

Benot (bless him) has just fixed this
So only relevant on previous Gambas versions to the latest commit now.
