I'm using lightbrite 1.1.2, and it appears that it can't handle large
buffers (the one I'm using is a 30K C source file). Has anyone else
experienced this, or better yet does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks,
Erik

Erik:

lightbrite is working as marca intended: there are two vars,
brite::comment-threshold and brite::touchup-threshold that control the maximum
size of file that lightbrite will try to touch up automatically. These are set
to 100000 and 30000 respectively, normally.

To get a large file commented:  \C-zC (brite::balloon-comment-threshold)
To get a large file touched up: \C-xT (brite::balloon-touchup-threshold)

Or you could just change brite::comment-threshold and brite::touchup-threshold
to larger values. That what I've done (200000 & 750000). But then, I have a
fairly powerful machine, so I can take the performance hit, and I've tuned
some of the regexps to make them run faster (ie they simpler and less general,
but they match my coding style).

Hope this helps.
