bug#29767: 26.0.90; Failing auto-fill in message-mode because of bad sta


From: Jose A. Ortega Ruiz
Subject: bug#29767: 26.0.90; Failing auto-fill in message-mode because of bad state (comment-skip-end)
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2017 22:17:53 +0100
User-agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/26.0.90 (gnu/linux)

Unfortunately, i cannot reproduce the bug reliably, but these are the
symptoms:

  - sometimes, when composing a reply to an email in gnus (major mode is
    message-mode there, auto-fill-mode is enabled), when a line is
    auto-filled and broken in two, do-auto-fill incorrectly thinks that
    it is inside a comment and adds a `> ' prefix to it.

    For instance, i'm writing

        > This is a citation of the message i'm replying to

        This is my response and now i am approaching fill-colum so it

    which causes an auto-fill, which should be:

        > This is a citation of the message i'm replying to

        This is my response and now i am approaching fill-colum
        so it

    but instead i get:

        > This is a citation of the message i'm replying to

        This is my response and now i am approaching fill-colum
        > so it

   - i have no reliable way of reproducing the problem.  even when it's
     happening, if i kill and yank the buffer's content into a new
     buffer and put it in message-mode, the problem goes away.

   - stepping over do-auto-fill (called by message-do-auto-fill), i
     finally found out that the reason a > is being inserted is because
     `comment-beginning` is misbehaving, and thinks point is inside a
     comment.

   - and stepping into comment-beginning i've discovered that
     comment-beginning is wrong beacause someone sets the local variable
     `comment-end-skip` to a bogus value in the process of
     auto-filling.  that variable starts life as nil in message-mode,
     but, sometimes, after some calls to auto-fill it ends up having a
     bogus value.  that value is,  i think, set by
     newcomment.el's `comment-normalize-vars`, at the end of its body.

   - i don't know if setting the value is wrong in the context it's
     being set, but i've got the suspicion that the fact that that value
     is not returned to nil once do-auto-fill has ended its business
     might be causing havoc.  the concrete value is "[  ]*\\(\\s>\\|\\n\\)"

   - at any rate, i know for sure that is that value of comment-end-skip
     the responsible for the bad behaviour of `comment-beginning` doing
     the wrong thing in some cases at least.

Cheers,
jao

To be well informed, one must read quickly a great number of merely
instructive books. To be cultivated, one must read slowly and with a
lingering appreciation the comparatively few books that have been written
by men who lived, thought, and felt with style. -Aldous Huxley
