(I'm going through older Emacs bug reports that have received no
response.)
I can confirm that this bug is still present in Emacs 27 -- everything
after the quote is in font-lock-string-face.
The confusing thing is that I can't even determine what's doing the
font-locking of that thing here.
This is the definition:
(defvar conf-font-lock-keywords
'(;; [section] (do this first because it may look like a parameter)
("^[ \t]*\\[\\(.+\\)\\]" 1 'font-lock-type-face)
;; var=val or var[index]=val
("^[ \t]*\\(.+?\\)\\(?:\\[\\(.*?\\)\\]\\)?[ \t]*="
(1 'font-lock-variable-name-face)
(2 'font-lock-constant-face nil t))
;; section { ... } (do this last because some assign ...{...)
("^[ \t]*\\([^=:\n]+?\\)[ \t\n]*{[^{}]*?$" 1 'font-lock-type-face prepend))
"Keywords to highlight in Conf mode.")
No font-lock-string-face in sight, and there's no mention of it in the
file. So is this some general font-lock thing that's configured
somewhere else? Anybody know how this stuff works?
