Use of C-M-i (completion-at-point) in the Pascal mode results in errors. Here is a way to reproduce the problem: 1. Start emacs by "emacs -Q". 2. Open a new file with extension "pas" (say, test.pas). 3. Type in: program test; var and then use C-M-i. This should yields an error message like: completion--some: Args out of range: #("var" 0 3 (fontified t face font-lock-type-face)), 0, -14 In GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5) of 2019-09-22, modified by Debian built on x86-grnet-01 Windowing system distributor 'The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.12004000 System Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Recent messages: Auto-saving...
