Can there be a solution to this? >=20 >=20 > Did you try the non-default values of show-paren-style? Have spent some serious time scrutinising show-paren-style. =20 I will explain the problem. Suppose your function is longer than your emac= s window. Use "expression" as "show-paren-style", then go just after the last closing= parenthesis. =20 You get the associated region highlighted. BUT, try to scroll up the code,= the highlighting get recomputed as the point moves across the window. Thus highlighting cap= ability becomes useless when the part does not fit in the emacs window pane. =20
