I was just curious if anybody has had this problem with the idl mode in emacs and if so what they did about it. When I start emacs and edit an idl file I get colored fonts and the mode line at the bottom of the window reads ...(IDL Abbrev Fill)... So far so good. If I then edit a C++ file (or I presume any file with an associated language specific mode but I haven't confirmed this for anything but C++) and go back and try to edit an IDL file I lose the colored fonts and mode line reads ...(IDL Fill)... and this seems to be an irreversible change for the rest of the emacs session. Thanks for any suggestions. BTW I'm using GNU Emacs 20.2.1 under Solaris 2.6 and idl.el 1.40
