Subject: What is special about the minibuffer in regard to font locking?
Date: Sun, 23 Jan 2022 08:25:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <shKywr26F5jxSpp3Pf7g5Nx6qEzfJwV0CB8D3x355mfi6UmEL3wVuvjKhrrfjkkWHMat33IMnodtk0BYp2Znn1Dh01c_7CRAxVLmYqRjdtc=@protonmail.com> (raw)
There is an existing bug report about font locking in the minibuffer
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=46092
and I'm wondering how the minibuffer is special which prevents font locking there.
AFAIK, normal buffer functions (eobp), etc. work there and it also supports text properties, so what else is required from a buffer by font locking which is not supported in the minibuffer?
