Emacs stops changing the color (global-font-lock-mode) of comments after certain point ( 100 lines or so) after that it shows the comments as normal text and highlights the keywords such as "do" "for" etc.. One more thing i noticed i selected whole buffer and said "indent-region" Now everything is fine.. Why emacs is unable to see the comments as *comments* I am running 21.3.1 prem
