Possible bug with font-lock-mode or hi-lock-mode (ntemacs)

[Craig Muth]

Hello,

 

Font-lock mode no longer dynamically highlights text after a call to (highlight-regexp).  Others have confirmed seeing the same thing, so it's likely not just my environment.  I'm not sure whether this is a hi-lock bug (possibly due to it only calling font-lock-add-keywords) or a font-lock bug.

 

Lossage after recreating the problem:

C-f t m p RET
a <return> o <return> e <return> C-x w l o RET RET
o <return> e <return> o <return>

 

The last o's aren't highlighted yellow.

 

platform:

Windows XP

 

version:

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
