Hi,

there is a nice feature with Emacs23: after a closen parenthesis highlight the matching paren before.

See attachment.

Don't get it with v24. Unfortunately can't see where it comes from.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Andreas

IIUC that displays the v24 style: matching paren is hightlighted, when cursor is
on closing parenthesis.

However, when closed, the cursor is after. IMO it was very convenient, seeing what was closed before.

BTW in case cursor is on, there is jump-matching-paren for reference if needed.

Thanks,

Andreas

Perhaps, you disabled `show-paren-mode' in your .emacs.
Try "M-x show-paren-mode".  Also look if what you want works in "emacs -q".

The behaviour described needs show-paren-mode on. However, at v24 only works with cursor on last paren, while v23 worked with cursor after.
Maybe a deliberate change?

For me (I use 24.3.1) parentheses are highlighted when the cursor is
placed on the first (opening) parenthesis or after the second (closing)
one, i.e. exactly the same behaviour as in your screenshot.

Did you try "emacs -q"?

Even with "emacs -Q" :)

Seems a bug in latest pretest, will report it.

Thanks caring for it,

Andreas

Ah sorry, it's show-paren-mode indeed.

Thanks again,

Andreas
