Please invoke Emacs via:
$ emacs -Q --eval "(let ((x \"x\")) \
(find-file x) \
(insert x) \
(highlight-regexp x 'hi-green) \
(when font-lock-mode (insert x)))"
The docstring of highlight-regexp states:
Use Font lock mode, if enabled, to highlight REGEXP. Otherwise,
use overlays for highlighting. If overlays are used, the
highlighting will not update as you type.
Since font-lock-mode is clearly enabled when the second "x" is inserted,
I expect it to be highlighted. However, only the first "x" is highlighted.
Could you please adapt the docstring or, alternatively, highlight-regexp
to match what is documented with what is observed? Personally, I would
prefer that also the second "x" be highlighted in this case. Thank you!
