Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 15:33:37 +0000

The minibuffer prompt of  eval-expression accepts an elisp expression,
but it does not have proper syntax table setup.

This should be fixed.

The prompt does not do font locking either, but that has a bug report
already: #46092

You don't say which Emacs version you're on, but I think this has
already been fixed in what will be Emacs 28:

https://bugs.gnu.org/41781

Use 'emacs-lisp-mode-syntax-table' for reading Lisp expressions

I'm on 27, so if somebody can confirm it works properly for
the eval-expression prompt with Emacs 28 then it can be
closed.

Looks fixed to me, so I'm closing this bug report.
