Package: emacs21
Version: 21.1-4
The elisp mode's syntax shading is confused by its own keywords.
Example:
---begin quote---
(defvar cperl-problems 'please-ignore-this-line
"Some faces will not be shown on some versions of Emacs unless you
install choose-color.el, available from
ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/emacs/
Emacs had a _very_ restricted syntax parsing engine until RMS's Emacs
20.1. Most problems below are corrected starting from this version of
Emacs, and all of them should go with RMS's version 20.3.
(Or apply patches to Emacs 19.33/34 - see tips.)
Note that even with newer Emacsen interaction of `font-lock' and
syntaxification is not cleaned up. You may get slightly different
colors basing on the order of fontification and syntaxification. This
might be corrected by setting `cperl-syntaxify-by-font-lock' to t, but
the corresponding code may still contain some bugs.
---end quote---
The syntax shading of this multiline string is erroneous from the second line
of the second paragraph, with "`font-lock' and" in it. It's also shading
font-lock differently because it's a keyword when it's obviously inside of a
string, and thus has no special value here.

Hi! I'm closing this bug, since it affected emacs21, and the current
version is 23. If you still encounter this problem, please feel free to
re-open it and move it to the appropriate package, or ask me to do it.
