|reopen| bugnumber The proposed solution, which has to bind syntax-propertize-function to nil before calling scan-sexp, reads like a work around. These things shouldn't be necessary. Assume a fix must affect usage of syntax-propertize-function and probably is not a trivial one. Its design seems worth further discussion. For example reading: "The specified function may call ‘syntax-ppss’ on any position before END, but it should not call ‘syntax-ppss-flush-cache’, which means that it should not call ‘syntax-ppss’ on some position and later modify the buffer on some earlier position." Emacs can do better.
