Well, I didn't write that I like it like this. It is merely a workaround until a proper implementation dealing with this problem is done. > If fontification of the whole file is fast enough > that users can stand to wait for it, what you really should do is > force font-locking to completion immediately. Currently users can start editing the document and stealth fontification will fontify the buffer during editing pauses. So I don't think this usually is like opening the file and staring at the screen till fontification finishes. But I see your point and I'll check if forcing the whole buffer to be fontified before folding leads to bearable execution times. An option could also be to make this configurable; maybe based on processor speed and buffer sizes. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
