My Cider repl highlights all parens, braces, brackets after getting a runtime exception. So far the only way I’ve got the highlights to stop is quitting Cider and reconnecting … is there a setting for this?

can’t imagine what can be causing this

might be some other mode you’re using together with the repl

usually when all the bracket types are highlighted for me, it’s just unbalanced parens @boz

next time it happens, try clearing the repl with C-c M-o, I believe it is?

@boz: Place the cursor on one of these highlighted parens and type C-u C-x =.

You'll get a buffer describing the character. Somewhere near the bottom it will tell you the overlays and faces being used on the character

The names of these faces should indicate where they're comming from

hmm. Having trouble reproducing the paren highlights thing. Got your notes though @jcsims and @malabarba. Thanks! Will try them if it happens again.

...just throwing a RuntimeException doesn't trigger it

Maybe the exception message had an unbalanced paren or somethng?

Could be. It was a much bigger stacktrace before because I was in the middle of learning ….

I usually trigger it when I try to paste some data structure into the repl (the unbalanced parens, that is)

yep, that did it 1] does it

C-c M-o cleared it Thanks!
