Subject: problem with font lock
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:14:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zl4fftv2.fsf@newton.homeunix.net> (raw)


hi,

i'm experiencing an intermittent problem with font lock that i don't
know how to debug (this is emacs 23.1.91 packaged for debian). every now
and then, font lock just stops working in most (but not all) of the
buffers: the extant colors remain, but new text is not coloured at all
(e.g., if i comment a line out, the line's text retains its initial
faces instead of switching to the comment face). as i said, i haven't
found a way to reproduce this behaviour deterministically, and when it
starts happening i don't see any error message around. so my question
is: what would you recommend to look at when i enter this state, so that
i can submit a useful bug report?

thanks!
jao
