Stef> Hi, Stef> I've had this problem for ages. I feel stupid that everytime Stef> instead of noting the error message and reporting it, I fire Stef> up my workaround instantly. Stef> It has to do with the paren-mode. I think I have a matching Stef> parent showing a highlight, then I open a new file, using Stef> TAB abusively, splitting the screen in two for completion, Stef> then either I open the file or I give up, and I get back to Stef> my original file. This is where I get the message about Stef> paren modifier quitting something. Result is that every Stef> highlight of matching paren will remain on screen Stef> forever. Unless I quickly paren-set-mode a couple times Stef> until back to my original mode. That makes everything back Stef> to normal. The error message is not shown in the message Stef> log, and I cannot seem to be able to reproduce it although Stef> I'm confident that it happens every week. Stef> Sorry about the vagueness of the message, I'll try to Stef> remember to note it down next time, but I was wondering if Stef> anyone experienced the same problem?
