Subject: Re: Copying preserves font-lock-face

Message-ID: <E1GRBoj-0004uV-Qm@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <17684.33575.513181.276604@kahikatea.snap.net.nz> (message from Nick Roberts on Sat, 23 Sep 2006 12:43:19 +1200)

    If I copy text with a font-lock-face it keeps that property and doesn't acquire
    the face appropriate to it's new location e.g text from the grep buffer with
    font-lock-face `match' looks the same after being copied into a C file.  I
    realise that I can remove font-lock-face with facemenu-remove-all but I don't
    see why I should need to.

    Is there a reason why font-lock-face should be preserved on copying?

Perhaps it should be preserved when copying into a non-font-lock
buffer, but discarded when copying into a buffer with font-lock
enabled.
