Alan> 2 /// I'll take a look at this, if only to classify it. It may not be the same as the existing bugs in comment detection, but (unfortunately) they are legion. The big problem is that there are really broken heuristics for moving backward in text that we use, especially when detecting comments and parenthesized material. You can see a few of the resulting bugs documented at the end of ./tests/automated/syntax-tests.el in the XEmacs 21.5 sources. (Only if you're really curious; I don't think looking at it will help fix things.) I don't know when somebody will have time to actually analyze and fix these properly, and I'm not sure how long it will take to get a fix into 21.4 because it's likely to be quite destabilizing. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
