[slime-devel] Highlighting of forms from sldb?
I think this changed some time ago, but I didn't reported it. When I'm in sldb and press "v" on one of the stack frames, slime brings up the source file quite nicely in another window. Previously (with xemacs), the offending form would be highlighted, with the cursor in the sldb buffer. Now, what happens is that the offending form is very momentarily highlighted (in blue). Is my memory wrong, or has this changed? In any case, it's certainly much nicer if the form were highlighted, even if the cursor is in the sldb window. Ray

Yes, I changed that.

The highlighting is occasionally distracting when the highlighted form needs to be edited. Also, at some point we have to remove the highlighting. Previously the next v command or quitting from the debugger removed the overlays. With temporary highlighting that problem is solved nicely, because the timer does that. I can restore the old behavior if you feel strong about it. Helmut.

Yes, I've noticed that too.

Not sure. I guess my problem is that with xemacs, the highlighting is sometimes removed so fast that I don't even see it. Perhaps that's a bug in xemacs. I'll look in to it a bit and see if the highlighting can be on for a bit longer... Ray

Oh, I see. If I press v, the form is temporarily highlighted. It's a little annoying that when the file is first loaded, the highlighting happens so fast that I often don't see it, but pressing v highlights it again. That's nice. Ray
