Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2016 08:02:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <560rz19nf.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <07eg6xmpiq.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (Glenn Morris's message of "Wed, 13 Jul 2016 13:11:41 -0400")


It's bad to have persistently failing tests, because it can mask new failures.
(eg several xref tests started failing in
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/37558515, but there was no notification
email due to this pre-existing failure.)

So please consider applying your change to fix this.
I see it is similar to what turn-on-font-lock does, so if explicitly
turning on font-lock in this test also fixes it, that might be better.
