Subject: 30.1; Text wrongly displayed with font-lock-warning-face

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

Start emacs with emacs -Q and paste the following text in the scratch buffer

;;;; Start copy ;;;;
(defun test (nil)
  (test1
    (test2
    "") "***"))
;;;; End copy ;;;;

You will see that the last 7 characters of the last line, i.e., "***")) are
shown with the wrong face. If you insert a new line before those
characters, the correct face is shown.

It's a feature, not a bug.  Move your mouse pointer so it's over the
text displayed in warning face, and read what the tooltip says to
understand why Emacs does that.

No further comments, so I'm now closing this non-bug.
