I tested this the other day too and was confuzzled (confused + puzzled). After a while I realized that it had to do woth font-lock-mode overriding my coloring.
Perhaps those menu items should be disabled when Font Lock is enabled. That way, people will see they're not supposed to work. However, doing that in a simple way would have the wrong results for Enriched mode buffers when Global Font Lock mode has been enabled. So the criterion "when font lock mode is enabled" is not exactly the right criterion. Perhaps it should be "in major modes that specify something nontrivial for Font Lock to do", or "in such major modes when Font Lock is enabled." Would someone like to do this? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
