Subject: Makefile mode font-lock inefficiency
Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 04:37:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <u8xymmp8x.fsf@boost-consulting.com> (raw)


Recent builds of emacs seem to almost "hang" whenever I visit a
makefile.  Take, for example, lisp/makefile.in in this project.  I
have to kill font lock with C-g and change to text mode in order to
look at it.  I traced the problem down to the fact that I set
font-lock-support-mode in my .emacs

I was setting font-lock-support-mode to lazy-lock-mode, but even
fast-lock-mode causes the problem.  I now notice that these packages
are obsolete, but only preparing this bug report was enough to get me
to notice that.  I think this is a usability bug, but I don't know how
it should be addressed.
