I tried in a buffer with over 19,000 files. I should have experienced a problem (no matches found, nothing changed) if font-lock would be related. But every function involved always found matches hundreds of screens below the current position. I reloaded the buffer after each experiment to be sure only the currently visited area was ever displayed. OTOH, I did see the match-data issue occur. Maybe this is the only reason of our problems. I would focus on trying to understand that problem. > > Second: I'm confused.

It's a not-so-nice inconsistency, but ok... Michael.
