GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2008-11-15 on localhost

(Gentoo package app-editors/emacs-22.3)

Execute "emacs prov.adb" (in a directory without such a file). Then
write these lines:
procedure Prov
is
begin
    goto done

The reserved words "procedure" "is" and "begin" get highlighted as soon
as they are written. But "goto" is only highlighted if
1. the file is saved at this point,
2. a ';' is written, or
3. a newline is written

Compare this with the similar example
procedure Prov
is
begin
    raise done

Here the reserved word "raise" is highlighted immediately (unlike
"goto"). (But the identifier "done" is not highlighted immediately,
which looks like another bug.)
