Re: Local Variable "mode" ignored ? Could be a bug...

Davit Panariti told me, that putting a form-feed directly before the loca=
l=20
variables will help and it did :) Thanks, Davit!

But this made me curious and I found this in the xemacs documentation:

" The start of the local variables list must be no more than 3000
characters from the end of the file, and must be in the last page if the
file is divided into pages.  Otherwise, Emacs will not notice it is
there."

My local variables are the last lines of the file, so they are surely=20
within 3000 characters from the end of the file. Originally, the files ar=
e=20
not divided into pages, so that shouldn't be an issue, too.

And "enable-local-variables =3D t" is set, as well...
If I run "(lambda nil (interactive) (revert-buffer t t))" in the .h file,=
=20
the mode is changed to c++, so it seems there is some error when the file=
=20
is loaded.

I created a small textfile that contained only the local variables and it=
=20
worked.

So adding a form-feed may solve my problem but this shouldn't be=20
necessary.=20
Any hints ?

TIA
