``Attract'' and ``distract'' are not the same thing. The default delay attracts the attention and then goes away; the longer value you suggested distracts it away of the real work, which is to do whatever I needed the Grep hits for. > > I've mentioned more than once that the 0.1 second period > > means that the > > highlighting is not even noticeable on my system (Windows > > XP).

Is the highlight indeed invisible on your system, or just too short to your liking? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
