================================================================ Dear Bug Team! Summary: reloading a changed file that includes eval statements causes the font-lock to fail. How to recreate: * cat > test.tex <<EOF \documentclass[twoside,12pt]{article} \usepackage{amssymb} %----------------------------------- \begin{document} %----------------------------------- \maketitle \pagebreak This is a test document %------------------------- \end{document} %------------------------- %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: t %%% eval: (reftex-set-cite-format 'natbib) %%% End: EOF * Open test.tex in xemacs * run 'touch test.tex' * C-x C-f test.tex * You will be asked "File test.tex changed on disk. Reread from disk? (yes or no)" * Say yes * You will be asked "Process `eval' or hook local variables in file test.tex? (y or n)" * Say y * At this point, one of two things will happen; * This warning will be reported: (warning/warning) Error caught in `font-lock-pre-idle-hook': (wrong-type-argument markerp nil) * The "Fontifying test.tex" progress bar will appear and stop moving * In either case, the font coloring does not work in the buffer until you kill the buffer and reload. Other relevant information * I realize I am using an old version of xemacs, but I have recreated the same bug in the same way with the latest xemacs available on Debian Unstable (21.4.17-1) * I am using auctex Please let me know if I can provide additional information. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux i386-rh71.sp.cs.cmu.edu 2.4.7 #2-GENERIC-001 Wed Aug 1 15:46:26 EDT 2001 i686 unknown /afs/.cs.cmu.edu/misc/xemacs/src/core/xemacs-21.4.4/configure '--prefix=/usr/local' '--extra-verbose' '--with-gnu-make' '--with-mule' '--with-pop' '--with-gif=yes' '--site-prefixes=/afs/cs.cmu.edu/misc/xemacs/src/aux:/usr/local' '--archlibdir=\${libdir}/\${PROGNAME}-\${version}/lib-src' '--bindir=\${libdir}/\${PROGNAME}-\${version}/bin' '--mandir=\${libdir}/\${PROGNAME}-\${version}/man/man1' '--compiler=/usr/local/bin/gcc' '--cflags=-O2 -Wall -DCMU -DCMUCS' '--site-runtime-libraries=/usr/local/lib' '--with-xim=xlib' '--compiler=/usr/local/libexec/gcc-3.0.1/bin/gcc' XEmacs 21.4.4 "Artificial Intelligence" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
