Hi. I'm running an emacs built from the emacs-25 branch on 2016/04/05 (a05fb21). I'm seeing Makefiles incorrectly rendered at times. Example. I load the following Makefile: =================================== XXX := \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb \ $(DIR)/aaa/bbb =================================== Things look correct here. In particular all the DIR are rendered with font-lock-variable-name-face I then kill (with C-k) any of the DIR lines. Two of the DIR around the line being killed then lose the font-lock-variable-name-face. The buffer needs to be reverted to get proper highlighting back. I'm attaching screenshots (emacs -Q -nw) before and after the kill. Thanks
