Hi,

Thanks for letting me know.

The path I followed for solving the problem is as follows:

I installed virtualbox and then installed the latest version of Linux in VM and installed Octave there. Now everything seems to be fine.

The numbers are displaying properly as well.

If you need Ubuntu 10.04 for a specific reason, you can also manually install a newer version of QScintilla.

Thanks for your bug report. I think you are missing the Octave tab because the version of QScintilla2 in Ubuntu 10.04 (version 2.4.3) did not have Octave as a supported language. There should be an Octave style tab if you are using a newer version of QScintilla2. The best way to resolve this is to upgrade your Ubuntu. There does not seem to be an Octave bug here. If I'm wrong and the tab still does not show up using a newer version of QScintilla2, feel free to comment here or open a new bug report.

Hi,

When you open the QScintilla Settings dialog and go to Editor Styles, we don't see a Octave tab, but we see C++, Perl etc.

I think there should be an Octave to set the styles for .m files.

I want to change the style because in a .m file, when I type a number its background color turns red and I am unable to read the number.

The OS I am using is Ubuntu 10.04 and the octave package was installed from the Ubuntu PPA that that is maintained by Octave team.
