I'm going to spend some time over the next couple of days
putting
together a report on these. I have to do this anyway for all bugs, so
there's no point in duplicating effort. You are not likely to get
many recipes :-(. The people observing the bugs generally did not
provide them.
Thanks.
Also, Matt Tucker <tuck(a)xemacs.org> is back in the saddle and
thinks
he should be able to resolve any remaining bugs within two weeks. I'm
sure he'd appreciate help, though. Please coordinate with him on
this.
I'm mostly concerned about writing test cases and cleaning
up the code path (the latter in 21.5). Syntax code is so
complex that you can't be sure you don't introduce any new
bugs without detailed tests. (Of course it is not Matt's
fault. It has been complex for ages and he only added a few
more complexities.)

Matt made a fix subsequent to my Java lossage which has generally
made
things much better for me. I don't tend to see indentation lossage now,
only font-lock lossage especially wrt comments. I also tend to find that
comments inside code screw things up for instance something like this:
foo(some, arguments, here, /*document what I'm doing */
and, anthother)
Is it with JDE mode? I put it in test.java and opened it.
When I hit TAB at the beginning of the second line, 'and'
moved to the place below 'some'. It looks like it is
working for me.
