Xfce 4.14 "Pre2" Brings Bug Fixes, GLX Compositing Improvements & More

I would like to know if they solved the problem, that is now more than 10 years.. with GtkSourceView, not recognizing TEXT files types by its 'MAGIC NUMBER'( '#!' ..Shebang in Mousepad.. )
Its really annoying..
They say the problem is within GtkSourceView, I believe.
But when they open a file in Mousepad, they can circumvent that miss-behaviour of GtkSourceView, by detect file type, and the open it like if the file had a extension, then GtkSourceView would apply the correct Color Scheme to that Language..

Even the Linux Kernel recognizes text script based files, starting with its "MAGIC NUMBER" ( '#!' )

I also would love this to be fixed. The best color scheme of any text editor I've used is probably Xubuntu Dark. What nice is that this color scheme can also be used in Gnome Builder. (Though with newer versions of Gnome Builder, you have to copy

/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/styles/xubuntu-dark.xml

to

/usr/share/gtksourceview-4/styles/

)

I'm both excited and nervous for Xubuntu 19.10, on one hand, XFCE 4.14! On the other hand, limited 32-bit support...

I have been using iLynx theme, based in the Cobalt Theme, by Will Farrington( but adapted for better readability.. )

The problem, is, each time you save a text script file, it looses the Color Theme, which is very, very annoying..there are a bug open for some 10 years or even more, about that...I use mousepad, and its a nightmare, because you need to select again the theme, each time you save the code you are doing..
Crazy..
