 I activated paren highlighting in ~/.emacs:
 
 (paren-set-mode 'paren)
 
 So, while going through a buffer (e.g. Emacs Lisp mode, Scheme mode)
 with M-right to jump to the end of the a sexp the matching opening
 paren will be highlighted. When I jump to the next sexp using M-right
 this opening paren stays highlited! So I have at two highlited opening
 parens...
 
 This even happens while I type this text: ( bla bla ) <- will
 highlight the left paren, but it stays highlited while I keep on
 typing or move the cursor around. Very confusing. ;) It used to work
 perfectly (same ~./emacs etc) with 21.4.9. 
There are a couple of related bug reports, but AFAIK no fixes.  See eg.
<
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200206/msg00516.html> and
<
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200210/msg00061.html>.  I
can reproduce the former (popup menu version) at will on 21.4.10 and
21.5.9.  It was reported against 21.4.9 though.
