Create ~/tmp/foo.cc with file contents:

  //

Start Emacs 24.5 by:

  emacs -Q ~/tmp/foo.cc

Type 42 in some other X11 window (eg Chrome), and select it. In the Emacs window, paste it with the middle mouse button (mouse-yank-primary). The number 4 is not fontified.

Try the same with Emacs 24.4 and all fontification is correct.

Sorry, I made a mistake with my versions. I always witness it at:

  commit c03c195a274ab4092cc5f2a881a87cb2643d9b3b

  Date:   Tue May 12 19:35:54 2015 +0300

I do not witness it in Emacs 24.5 nor today's emacs-24 nor today's master. So it must have been fixed in the past few weeks. Closing the bug.

Thanks for having taken a look and sending such a timely response.

Did you create it using Emacs?  If so, C++ Mode will automatically have
added a linefeed at the end of the bare line.

That's a pretty crisp recipe, thanks.  I can't reproduce it, though.  I'm
in XFCE in X-Windows, and the program I used to get "42" into the
mouse-yank-primary buffer was vim running on xfce4-terminal.

I'm assuming that the "//" is at the beginning of the line, that there is
no trailing space after it, but there is a linefeed at the end of the
line.  I yanked in the "42" just after the second "/".

Could there be anything unusual about the "42" you got from Chrome?

What's your desktop environment?

Is there anything else you can think of in your setup that might be
influencing the bug?  Does the bug happen every time you try it,
sometimes, or did it only happen once?

As a matter of interest, would you reproduce your Emacs configuration
line, please (M-: system-configuration-options).

This is Emacs 25.0.50.  What is the connection, if any, between the debug
info you included below, and the test you ran on 24.5?
