bug#2701: 23.0.91; flashing/slow highlighting

[David Abrahams]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Put the following in a buffer and `M-x compilation-mode'.  Then hover
the mouse over the beginning of any line.  The text highlighting sweeps
visibly slowly across from left to right; it actually appears to be
happening twice for every line.  Regardless, it's way too slow.  This is
a recent snapshot on MacOSX.

Me too, of course.  I was reporting a platform-specific problem.

Which is exactly the point of my message, to allow this to be classified
as a platform-specific problem :-)

Thanks for clarifying.  Next time I know that to be the case I'll be  
sure to note it in the report.

On GNU/Linux I experiences flashes/slow highlighting too, (with
flyspell) but I wasn't able to reproduce this specific case. I don't
think it's a platform-specific problem, but rather a performance
problem.
