~org-src-font-lock-fontify-block~ modifies ~match-data~ through the
fontification of the temporary source buffer. But
~org-src-font-lock-fontify-block~ is also called in
~org-fontify-meta-lines-and-blocks-1~ by
~font-lock-fontify-region~. There it puts the text property
~font-lock-multiline~ on some text from the beginning up to the end of
the last match in the Org buffer. Since the source buffer is smaller than the Org buffer
~match-beginning~ is smaller than it should be.

This can slow down editing operations in org-mode with large source blocks to an extent to which
org-mode becomes unusable.

An easy workaround is:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org+-with-save-match-data (fun &rest args)
  "Run FUN with ARGS but save `match-data'."
  (save-match-data
    (apply fun args)))

(advice-add 'org-src-font-lock-fontify-block :around #'org+-with-save-match-data)
#+end_src

Hi Tobias,

Thanks for your efforts. I have prepared a patch accordingly that wraps
org-src-font-lock-fontify-block’s body with save-match-data (attached).

If I don’t hear anything bad about it in the next few days, I’ll push it :)
Please let me know if my commit message agrees with your understanding of the
issue.

All the best,
Timothy

Subject: [PATCH] org-src: Save match data when fontifying src block

* lisp/org-src.el (org-src-font-lock-fontify-block): Since
`org-src-font-lock-fontify-block' modifies match data during
fontification, when called in `org-fontify-meta-lines-and-blocks-1' by
`font-lock-fontify-region' the text property font-lock-multiline is
applied to text from the beginning to the last match.  Since there is a
difference in buffer sizes, the match data is invalid and problematic.
This issue can drastically slow down editing operations in large source
blocks.  This can be avoided simply by wrapping `save-match-data' around
`org-src-font-lock-fontify-block'.

Timothy, are you able to reproduce the issue with performance? Due to 
the thread
https://orgmode.org/list/CAFhsWEgAb_im1WpXp3xsfFxcoahKyycM4GaqRin0SUXxD0gMzg@mail.gmail.com/ 
"Large source block causes org-mode to be unusable" I assume that it 
could be quite severe. On the other hand I tried to insert an .el file 
into org-guide.org and I have not noticed slow down. Actually my 
curiosity is caused by other performance issues, so I am interested if 
the effect may be broader.

The following question may be dumb since I am not familiar how font lock 
works in Emacs. Is it necessary to wrap whole function? I do not see 
explicit operation with regexps. The only suspecting line is

   (org-font-lock-ensure)

I am not sure whether the body of `org-src-font-lock-fontify-block' 
should be wrapped or its call site.

Feel free to disregard my questions since fontification is far aside 
from my experience.

Dear Timothy and Maxim,

the bug was caused by an advice. I am really sorry for the trouble I 
inflicted on you.
Next time I will test more carefully.

Btw, I corrected the real problem already in 
https://github.com/TobiasZawada/org-src-emph.

Regards,
Tobias Zawada

In my previous message I forgot to mention the subject of the initial 
bug report:

Bug: org-src-font-lock-fontify-block should be wrapped with 
save-match-data [9.3.7 (9.3.7-4-gba6ca7-elpaplus @ mixed installation! 
/mnt/c/Users/toz/Weiterbildung/Soft/Emacs/ and 
/mnt/c/Users/toz/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20200615/)

Notice "mixed installation!". Often it is source of obscure errors.
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mixed-install

Maybe link to FAQ item should be added to bug report template when mixed 
installation is detected. Since mixed installation can be detected, I 
would consider issuing a message during loading of Org mode.

I think, now it is irrelevant, so just for completeness: initialization 
of major mode might affect match data as well

     (unless (eq major-mode lang-mode) (funcall lang-mode))

Ah, thanks for highlighting this. It sounds like “mixed installation” is a red
flag which should prompt a request to reproduce the issue with an unmodified
Org.

All the best,
Timothy
