Subject: Paren scan error in gnus-article-mode
Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 21:48:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87psg8ynlj.fsf@escher.local.home> (raw)

On 15 Dec 2005 I sent this to emacs-pretest-bugs:

-------8<-----------
I read a posting with Gnus that contains the following line:

> the "(< 0 (length LIST)) === LIST" part to newbie me?

When I put the cursor on the first `(' and type either `C-M-f' or
`C-M-n', I get the following error:

Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 530, 584

(530 is where I put the cursor, 584 is (point-max).)  I assume this is
due to the following line in gnus-article-mode-syntax-table:

(modify-syntax-entry ?< "(>" table)
-------->8----------

As far as I'm aware, this (mis)behavior remains; at least it's in my
latest build: GNU Emacs 22.0.50.17 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.8.10) of 2006-06-11 on escher.  The error is likewise raised by
clicking with mouse-1 on the left parenthesis in sexps like this:

(looking-at "\\<")

(Clicking on the right parenthesis highlights the string backwards
through '<').
