Description of problem: Bogus mismatched parentheses message Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-common-23.2-7.fc14.x86_64 emacs-23.2-7.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo "my @q=qw(1 2 3 4)" > foo.pl 2. emacs foo.pl 3. Delete the closing bracket and retype it Actual results: The text "Mismatched parentheses" appears in the emacs status bar. When M-x check-parens is enabled, removing the closing bracket correctly generates the message in the status bar End of 'qw( ... )' string/RE not found (scan-error Unbalanced parentheses 9 18) but entering the ) results in the mismatched parentheses message. This misbehaviour also occurs with cperl mode. Expected results: The cursor momentarily returns to opening bracket and no message displayed Additional info: Also occurs in Fedora 13 with emacs-23.2-4.fc13.x86_64 emacs-common-23.2-4.fc13.x86_64 and Fedora 12 with emacs-common-23.1-24.fc12.i686 emacs-23.1-24.fc12.i686 but works correctly with RH5: emacs-common-21.4-20.el5 emacs-21.4-20.el5
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
