Syntax highlighting contd.

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! next episode of my "Syntax highlighting turned off on startup" saga: I've accidentally discovered that (say) cperl-mode.el *does* color the buffer opened as the first programming-language buffer since starting xemacs, *if* there isn't any cperl-mode.elc . I wouldn't call it a solution, but certainly it's a viable work-around... ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux linux 2.4.0 #3 Sun Jan 28 20:49:46 GMT 2001 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-mule' XEmacs 21.5-b3 "asparagus" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
