Description Alex Ruiz CLA 2011-03-15 16:48:57 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110204-0611

If I change the severity of a problem in the Codan Preference UI, Codan does not use the updated severity for existing markers.

I'm submitting a patch with a solution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a C/C++ Project
2. Create a C++ file and type "asdadfasdf"
3. Codan will create a "warning" marker like "Statement has no effect..."
4. Go to Codan Preferences (Project properties -> C/C++ General -> Code Analysis)
5. Change the severity of the problem "Statement has no effect" to "Error"
6. Go back to the file and add a new line and save (this will trigger Codan)
7. The "Statement has no effect" marker is still a "warning" and it should be "error"
