I have seen this too when working with SQL files. The problem is in
gnome-mime-data; gedit is doing what it is told. VHDL's rules are two
general considering how rare this file type is.
Out of frustration I created an Overrides.xml (attached). Update your
personal ~/.local/share/mime/packages/Overrides.xml using some or all of
the definitions from my data. Then from a terminal use this command:
update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime/
