I reloaded the page. While the forum post itself never changed - even when restarting firefox or reloading the page with `CTRL+F5` - I noticed that the preview for editing the post _does_ use the modified settings when reloading the page.

So, with `cpp` as only language in the list (to keep things simple), if I set the _default language_ to `cpp`, code highlighting in the post edit preview is correct. If I set the _default language_ to `auto` and again reload the page, it’s not correct anymore as described in the previous post.

Kind regards,  
Max
