highlight-regexp not working after tabulated-list-col-sort

Here is how:

1) M-x package-list-packages

2) M-x highlight-regexp RET parens RET and word "parens" will get
   highlighted

3) Click on "Archive" title and sort the list by Archive column

4) M-x highlight-regexp RET parens RET and the word "parens" is not
   highlighted. I would like to understand why. hi-lock mode remains
   turned on.

I can observe that M-x highlight-regexp does not work for second time
in Dired mode as well.

As the doc string says:

---
Use Font lock mode, if enabled, to highlight REGEXP.  Otherwise,
use overlays for highlighting.  If overlays are used, the
highlighting will not update as you type.  The Font Lock mode
is considered "enabled" in a buffer if its ‘major-mode’
causes ‘font-lock-specified-p’ to return non-nil, which means
the major mode specifies support for Font Lock.
---

So in these modes, changing the text won't update the overlays, and
re-sorting them will remove the overlays altogether.  So I don't think
there's any bug here, and I'm therefore closing this bug report.

I  wish   to  use  the   function  highlight-regexp  for   reasons  of
simplicity. The  above description does  not tell  me HOW to  use font
lock mode to highlight regexp.

I  can see  that font-lock-mode  is T  inthe buffer  before and  after
sorting.   My    understanding   is   that   I    am   already   using
font-lock-mode. It is enabled, and I cannot get highlighting. 

Description  such as  "Use Font  lock mode,  if enabled,  to highlight
REGEXP."  with its  "REGEXP" relates  to  the argument  REGEXP. It  is
related to the function. It tells little how is that supposed to work.

I have  followed the above  instructions by my  (mis)understanding and
have  specified `font-lock-specified-p'  below,  and  after sorting  I
still  cannot  invoke highlight-regexp  neither  with  M-x neither  by
evaluation.

Please, help me resolve this.

(define-derived-mode hyperscope-list-mode tabulated-list-mode "Hyperscope" "Hyperscope mode"
  (hyperscope-text-scale-adjust 'hyperscope-list-mode)
  (let ((id-length (length (number-to-string (rcd-sql-first "SELECT hyobjects_id FROM hyobjects ORDER BY hyobjects_id DESC LIMIT 1" hs-db)))))
    (setq tabulated-list-format (vconcat (list (list "ID" id-length t :right-align t))
					 (list (list "Hyperdocument" 70 t))
					 (list (list "Type" 12 t))
					 (list (list "Action" 9 t))))
    (setq font-lock-specified-p t)
    (setq tabulated-list-padding 1)
    ;; (setq tabulated-list-sort-key (cons "ID" nil))
    (tabulated-list-init-header)))

I think you just have to reapply the highlight-regexp after altering the
buffer.

Then I wasn't clear. I have tried  that in first place and it does not
work. That is why I said it is bug.

I don't get it why it is not bug.

You are right, that doesn't work.  The second time `hi-lock-set-pattern'
checks `hi-lock-interactive-patterns', finds the pattern, and does
nothing.

At least in the package-list buffer.  Dired is different because it
_does_ use font-lock.  But I don't see a problem in dired when I revert
or reorder the buffer, the highlighting doesn't disappear, so I don't
need to add a pattern a second time.

Michael.
