Subject: bug#8432: 24.0.50; Eldoc highlighting is confused by dolist and dotimes
Date: Wed, 06 Apr 2011 10:51:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zko3vk3i.fsf@escher.fritz.box> (raw)
1. emacs -Q
2. In *scratch* insert the following sexp:
(dolist (e '(a b c))
(message "Done")
(message "Done")
(message "Done"))
3. M-x turn-on-eldoc-mode
4. Putting point on (really, right after) the space after "dolist" makes
the echo area display this:
dolist: ((VAR LIST [RESULT]) BODY...)
5. Move point one character to the right, onto (really, right after) the
left parenthesis before "e".
=> Now "VAR" is highlighted in the echo area. Move point one more
character to the right and "VAR" is no longer highlighted (though
point is now really on/after the argument VAR of dolist). There is
no highlighting as point moves further rightwards, until it is at the
end of the line, right after the closing parenthesis of the argument
list: now "VAR" is highlighted again.
6. Move point to column 0 of the first "message" sexp.
=> Now "LIST" is highlighted in the echo area.
7. Move point to column 0 of the second "message" sexp.
=> Now "[RESULT]" is highlighted in the echo area.
8. Move point to column 0 of the third "message" sexp.
=> Now "BODY" is highlighted in the echo area.
The same (mis)highlighting pattern arises with dotimes.
