Subject: bug#6843: 23.1; grep-mode and filenames with colors
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 07:20:08 -0400

grep-mode highlights matches based on the presence of a pair of colons
around a number. But, for example, if you do this:

ethan <at> joker:~$ mkdir test
ethan <at> joker:~$ echo 'Hello' > test/10:45:20.txt
ethan <at> joker:~$ emacs -q

M-x rgrep <RET>
Hello <RET>
~/test <RET>

The results will mis-highlight 10:45:20, coloring "45" as the line
number (when it is part of the name of the file). Correspondingly,
if you do

M-x grep <RET>
Hello 10:<TAB> <RET>

The same thing happens. It's not possible to automatically jump-to-line
when this happens.

Thanks for your time,

Ethan
