Subject: 27.0.50; Wrong number of errors in compilation mode-line
Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2019 23:25:15 +0300

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Often compilation-mode displays wrong number of errors
in the mode-line even when compilation is finished.

compilation-mode is based on font-lock, so when the
*compilation* buffer is not displayed during compilation,
some parts of this buffer that contain error messages
are not fontified, and thus these errors are not counted.

This patch ensures the correct number of errors
is displayed on the mode-line:
