Hi Tobias,

Thanks for your efforts. I have prepared a patch accordingly that wraps
org-src-font-lock-fontify-block’s body with save-match-data (attached).

If I don’t hear anything bad about it in the next few days, I’ll push it :)
Please let me know if my commit message agrees with your understanding of the
issue.

All the best,
Timothy

Subject: [PATCH] org-src: Save match data when fontifying src block

* lisp/org-src.el (org-src-font-lock-fontify-block): Since
`org-src-font-lock-fontify-block' modifies match data during
fontification, when called in `org-fontify-meta-lines-and-blocks-1' by
`font-lock-fontify-region' the text property font-lock-multiline is
applied to text from the beginning to the last match.  Since there is a
difference in buffer sizes, the match data is invalid and problematic.
This issue can drastically slow down editing operations in large source
blocks.  This can be avoided simply by wrapping `save-match-data' around
`org-src-font-lock-fontify-block'.
