Hi all,

The error highlighting does not include the tactics anymore:

Is that the expected behavior? I find error harder to find in a buffer.

Best,

So what is actually the error? (It would be better to have a reproducible
example).

Here is an example that works:

theory Scratch
imports FOL
begin

lemma A B C by auto

end

As expected, the error for the proof method (not tactic) "auto" is "Failed to
apply initial proof method" over the text "auto".

Hello Makarius,

The error is that the red error highlighting (the big red background
that is shown in Isabelle/jEdit) does not extend past the "by". Here a
screenshot with Isabelle 2020 and 2021-RC1 for comparison:

I prefer the old behavior, but the new one is consistent. This happens
on every error wrong "by", which is why I did not provide a theory. The
one from the screenshot is:

theory Scratch
  imports Main
begin
lemma A B C by auto
end

I have studied the history in more detail. The old behaviour was a consequence of
