mouseover color in *grep* buffer no on on some filenames

[Dan Jacobson]

Let's say we have emacs configured so that one sees colors during mouseover.
I see the color on the first four, but not the last three:

changelog.Debian.gz:14:  * Replaced dotlock alternative with lockmail.
changelog.Debian.gz:69:  * Fixed dotlock manual page link.
changelog.Debian.gz:125:  * Use alternatives for maildirmake and dotlock
changelog.Debian.gz:131:  * Remove dotlock from /usr/bin to avoid conflicts (closes: #54008)
changelog.gz:56:	* Replace dotlock with lockmail.
changelog.gz:173:	* Converted dotlock, mailbot, reformail, reformime man pages to
changelog.gz:505:* V0.54b - Changed auto-configuration logic for enabling dotlocks.

I did cd /usr/share/doc/maildrop/ (grep "zgrep -n -e dotlock *")
Emacs/21.2 .emacs = http://jidanni.org/comp/emacs.txt

How about saying:

(setq compile-auto-highlight t)

Not so fast, you are sounding like M-x doctor with these requests for
more information... well, ok,
$ cat phonygrepresults

$ emacs --no-site-file -q -eval '(grep "cat phonygrepresults")'
Ok, notice as we move the mouse around, nothing lights up. Ok, now
middle click one one of the first 4 lines, and hit ^G when it asks you
what file. Notice now the lines light up upon mouseover.  However the
last 3 don't light up until you've at least clicked one of them once.

I see.  What I thought was erratic behavior is indeed well described
there under "nil".  Perhaps they strive to save CPU cycles by doing
things in steps.  Maybe today's CPU cycles are more abundant.
