Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

I am editing a text document I created with gedit. It is the gedit source package. The release is 8.04, the Hardy Heron release. I thought I could delete blank lines without changing the color of the text (which was black.) I deleted two blank lines at the beginning of the document. Now the words "of", "is", "and", "in", and "to" are displayed in red. Numbers are displayed in pink. "BIT" is in green. "---" and words following it are displayed in blue. What happened? How do I correct this?
