perl-mode highlight breaks down on prototype

[Johan Walles]

Binary package hint: emacs22-common

With emacs22-common 22.1-0ubuntu5.1, type the following in a perl-mode buffer (but without the quotes):

"
#!/usr/bin/perl

sub searchCRS($$$$$$);
searchCRS("SELECT $cr_columns FROM CRS crs WHERE category=1 ORDER BY hours DESC, created;", 24, 0, 0, "(Co)|(UC)", "problem");

# Prio 2 list.
"

Note how the last comment is highlighted as string contents, not as a comment. Indentation and everything else thinks it's inside a string as well.

Removing the "sub" line works around this. Just commenting it out doesn't help.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

[Johan Walles (walles)]

Daniel, I don't have access to an Intrepid system.

Do the provided reproduction instructions trigger the bug for you?

PS: Changing bug status from Incomplete to New because of the provided reproduction instructions.

Because you didn't really respond to the question, the status should be "incomplete" still. But I tried and I couldn't repro, so I guess this could be set to Invalid.

I'm attaching a screen shot, made on Intrepid amd64, emacs22-gtk. If I understand your description of the problem, I'm not seeing it.

[Johan Walles (walles)]

Looks good to me too, thanks era!

I'm now on 22.1-0ubuntu10.1 in Hardy, and now it seems to have started working here as well.

Setting to Fix Released since a fix has obviously been released.
