Description: In newer KDE versions the syntax highlighting for VHDL is already included (see http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kate/syntax/data/vhdl.xml for the current svn version).
If your kate release does not have VHDL support, just download the file vhdl.xml and save it in the directory ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/Last changelog:
== 1.08 == Lots of changes by Jan Michel: * for/while loops can be collapsed and expanded * generate blocks can be collapsed and expanded * procedural statements are recognized in generate blocks * recognition of optional keywords and labels improved * number of "false positives" has been reduced
== 1.07 == * small fix to be valid against the DTD * officially integrated into kate
== 1.06 == Add collapse and expand blocks for: * entity * component * component instances * case
== 1.05 == Add collapse and expand blocks for: * architecture * process * for * while * if
== 1.04 == Original vhdl.xml from KDE svn written by Rocky Scaletta.
I tested the "wait for" statement in a small VHDL file, but I could not discover any problems in kate 2.5.11. Maybe your version of the vhdl.xml is too old for this. I suggest you to update the file to the current svn version (see link above). I think, you have to overwrite the old file to update it. An additional installation in your local $KDEHOME directory might not be sufficient.
If the bug still appears after the update, I suggest you to write an email to the kwrite mailing list, since I'm not maintaining the file anymore.
Good luck!
