I've now heard back from martin rudalics: <quote> >>Apparently, Zaitseff's modifications are too persistent but I can't tell >>anything because I don't have the sources. > > > Source follows,
Thanks. Basically, the problem is here (defun css-mode() ... ; Setting up syntax table (modify-syntax-entry ?* ". 23") (modify-syntax-entry ?/ ". 14") ... This will modify the syntax-table of the current buffer, which can be any syntax table. You can, for example, in *scratch* do M-x css-mode and you will get C-like comments in all your Elisp buffers. Weird. Maybe this stuff works in a mmm-like environment where a buffer may have multiple major modes. As it stands, the code above is highly dangerous and should be either fixed (by making a new syntax table) or removed. </quote> so this bug is in css-mode, not emacs22 (I have now also reproduced it with emacs21). Should I close this and open a new one for css-mode, or is there some way to re-assign it to css-mode instead ? Eddy. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
