[Bug: 21.5-b27] font-lock-fontify-* / infinite loop
Wulf C. Krueger writes:
I've font-lock-mode turned on by default. Using Gnus (from CVS
as
well; updated and installed shortly before this bug report) and
answering an email (yank (with Supercite as in the XEmacs repository)
and reply) font locking runs into an infinite loop while "Fontifying
*wide reply to <recipient>*... (regexps).." is shown in the status
bar.
Does this happen with all replies, or just for a particular message?
I *think* I've seen this problem years ago once already and
someone on
this list told me about a switch for font-lock-mode that fixed the
infinite loop but unfortunately I can't find the message in the
archives.
The web site was lost in a disk crash; we have the mbox files, but we
need to rebuild the site, which is going slowly until more storage is
added.
Oh, btw, why is my XEmacs standard menu ("File", etc.)
suddenly in
German?
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
Probably XEmacs just looks at the LC_CTYPE and decides your language
environment is German. If the mule-packages/locale package is
installed, translation support (for the menubar only! :-( ) is
autoloaded and used according to the language environment.
I would guess this should follow LC_MESSAGES rather than LC_CTYPE, but
our message translation support is otherwise non-existent so you might
prefer to just remove the locale package (menubar translation is *all*
it does currently).
Do you consider this a bug or a feature? (Well, "feature" is a little
strong, maybe "hint at better things are possible". :-)
