Description
Originally submitted to Google Code by @kontulai on 27 Aug 2012
Steps to reproduce:
- open test folder
- create suite and resource file (or folder with tests and resource file there)
- create kw to resource file
- import resource file to suite
- create test case or user keyword in suite and use keyword from resource file in it

- go to test case or user keyword. the keyword from deleted resource is still highlighted even though the resource is not available.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the RIDE test data editor using the listed steps, especially deleting a resource without selecting “Also delete resource imports.” Start by tracing how deleted resource files, resource imports, and keyword highlighting are connected. Done means keywords from an unavailable resource are no longer highlighted, while valid imported keywords remain highlighted.
