Modern Fortran 2: erroneous syntax highlighting when used in combination with FORTRAN IntelliSense (fortls) and hovering

[gnikit]

Changes added to Modern Fortran 2 cause the following behaviour when used in combination with the fortran-language-server extension for VS code.

It's worth mentioning that it looks awfully similar to this bug reported in the fortran-language-server extension for VS code.

@gnikit Thanks for the report
In this new Release we added some options to prevent weird behaviors with Intellisense extension.
Please check your settings and uncheck hover and the others that conflict with Intellisense.

Please uncheck all of these here:

The reason why it wasn't happening before is due to the extension features completion, hover and symbos where not working.

[gnikit]

As far as I can tell, using the following settings

    "fortran.provideSymbols": false,
    "fortran.provideCompletion": false,
    "fortran.provideHover": false,
    "fortran.linterEnabled": false, // debatable, had it true in the past

the problem still persists.

As a side note, when enabling hover and completion (with fortls disabled) I see no difference.

hehehee ... it's funny, I think I found,
This is a bug in Language Server, the same that you linked.
The solution for that in their extension was this one:

if (extensions.getExtension('krvajalm.linter-gfortran')) {
	haveMFortran = true;
}

And now this fortran extension has a different publisher pedro-ricardo.linter-gfortran
So the fix wont work.

I'll contact them and reopen the issue.
👍 Thanks again for the feedback
