Bug Description

Binary package hint: emacs22

The parenthesis matching functionality in emacs is broken when running emacs22-nox (or with the -nw input arg) in java-mode. When emacs is indicating a match, the cursor jumps a few positions before the opening parenthesis. The text behind the cursor get corrupted and I cannot correct the text without restarting emacs.

I can only recreate the problem in java-mode. When switching to c++-mode the problem disappears. And I haven't been able to recreate it in a file with a single line, but it appears in rather small source files with many parenthesises.

I'm running emacs-nox in a gnome-terminal on a Desktop Ubuntu. I've tried both emacs22-nox and emacs23-nox.

The GUI versions (emacs22-x and emacs22-gtk) are working fine, but I really prefer the nox version as I'm using an IDE for more complex tasks.
