Hi Eli! Yes, I do mean the other way round. I made a post on the Emacs SE with images last night, which may be useful to link here. https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/58509/static-function-highlighting-locking-in-c?noredirect=1#comment91178_58509 As an aside, I accidentally posted this bug twice. Is there a way I can close the other issue?
