Subject: Re: can't turn off font-lock
Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2007 01:01:01 -0400	[thread overview]

    compile.el used turn-on-font-lock unconditionally, supposedly to update
    the font-locking keywords.

Please do not install that change.  I suspect it is not correct.

compile.el uses Font Lock to set up the properties that enable
next-error to work.  It appears to me that if it doesn't turn
on Font Lock mode, then next-error won't work.

I could be mistaken, but if you think I am, let's check that before
installing such a change.

I wish the mechanisms and the code for this were better documented.
Is there someone who understands it who would like to write an
overall explanation in comments in compile.el.
