That doesn't mean that the fix is easy. For instance, when both `show-paren-mode' and `iswitchb' are enabled, then `C-x b' displays the minibuffer iswitch {*scratch*,*Messages*} where both curly brackets get highlighted. iswitchb.el implements displaying this text by inserting it to the minibuffer, so in this sense this text is part of the minibuffer, and I see no way not to highlight matching brackets in this case. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
