Well, I found a fix right now. It is a sledge hammer method and for sure not in the manner of uptodate software, but it works... Itried first an upgrade to joe 4.6. Exactly the same problem. So this is definitely combined with version 4.x (in general?). I then threw out the entire joe (uninstalled it completely) and installed versio 3.7 RPM from openSuSE Leap 42.3 (I extracted it from its ISO). Works perfectly as it should. So I locked now updates to joe, it is now frozen in this version. But I will...

I can do even more. I can supply you a pascal source you can open with different versions of joe and compare. Some settings I usually change in /etc/joe/... 1. In /etc/joe/ftyperc I add .pp right below every .p (in pascal sections), because my files are ending in .pp. 2. In joerc I edit this lines: Default local options -highlight -istep 2 -tab 2 -indentc 9 Scroll then up/down through the source file and watch the colors. Starting with line 799 things go wrong in joe 4.x, while in joe 3.7 everything...
