Hello, Po.

It's been some while since you submitted this bug report, but I now have
a patch for it.

What happens here is there's a macro invocation with the type "struct
scroll_bar" as one of the arguments.  This is in function
x_scroll_bar_create, and the code there looks like:

  struct scroll_bar *bar = ALLOCATE_PSEUDOVECTOR (struct scroll_bar, prev,
                                                  PVEC_OTHER);

..  This argument was enough to derail the fontification of scroll_bar
throughout the buffer.

Would you please do the usual with the attached patch, and let me know
whether there are still problems with this bug.  Thanks!
