Subject: Idle timers with the active minibuffer
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2007 02:42:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k5otd3jx.fsf@jurta.org> (raw)
Why idle timers don't run when the minibuffer is activated?
I discovered this behavior when tried using isearch in the original
buffer after switching to it from the minibuffer without exiting it.
The idle timer for lazy-highlighting doesn't run. Steps to reproduce:
1. activate the minibuffer by e.g. `M-:'
2. switch back to the original buffer by `C-x o'
3. start isearch C-s and search for a string that have multiple
occurrences in the original buffer.
Other occurrences are not highlighted by lazy-highlight face.
Putting a breakpoint on isearch-lazy-highlight-update shows
that run-with-idle-timer from isearch-lazy-highlight-new-loop
never runs it when the minibuffer is not yet exited.
Is it an intentional behavior or a bug?
