lokalize does not work correctly after upgrading to 4.2.1

Hi,

I recently noticed the following:

Lokalize does not work correctly on my machine with KDE 4,2,1.
While I had 4.2.0 it worked like a charm, but since I updated to 4.2.1 it does not...
At first I had to remove  ~/.kde4/share/apps/lokalize/*.db because lokalize was complaining about those databases, and refused to start but still was using up to 50% of my CPU.
After removing those files, lokalize starts up, but if you load a po file, it locks up after a short while.

thank you

Re: lokalize does not work correctly after upgrading to 4.2.1

the problem is the sintax highlighter. I fixed the problem applying this patch:

hi (nice to see you also on the arch forum )!
Lokalize indeed works after patching the source code, but I had to edit the diff a little (for some reason it didn't patch properly with your version) (edit: it didn't patch correctly, because you forgot the post the last empty line)

     }

(don't froget the empty line after the '}' )

I also emailed the packager of the kdesdk package and sent him the patch (your patch with my modifications )
