Can you give examples ? Are these properties that the mode added to pre-existing text ? Or did the mode add the text as well ? I.e. do the properties belong to the mode or to the text ? Stefan PS: And the current code fails to remove those properties if you didn't turn font-lock-mode ON, which doesn't make much sense either.
