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)

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.

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.
