Hello. Steps to reproduce: 1) emacs -Q 2) Open up a new .c file: C-x C-f test.c 3) Type this text: #define FOO \ /* Some comms. */ \ struct foobar my_foo; \ struct foobar my_bar; The first struct foobar after the comment is not fontified as the second one. That is, the second foobar has face font-lock-type-face, and my_bar has face font-lock-variable-name-face, but the first foobar and my_foo don't get those face values. I actually bumped into this issue while visiting the emacs source file src/editfns.c. In that file, search for "#define EXTRA_CONTEXT_FIELDS" and the problem should be evident. I can reproduce it with the latest Emacs 26, as well as with the latest master: Repository revision: 8dc00b2f1e6523c634df3e24379afbe712a32b27 Repository branch: master Best regards, Mauro.
