Here is a reproducible way to get ProofGeneral 3.7pre071112 out of sync
with the isabelle2007 process, simply process this theory:

theory Scratch
imports Main
begin

lemma X: "a=b ==> b=a" by simp
-- "Text with \illegal escape sequence"

end

This happens quite often if you insert latex in your formal comment and
forget to convert "..." to {...} syntax. Having to restart Isabelle
each time is annoying for large theories.

If this is not the right list for PG bug reports: Sorry and what is the
right way to report PG bugs ?

regards
Peter

The very same happens with Isabelle2005 and Proof General 3.6pre050930 --
the combination we've shipped more than two years ago. I'd guess this
issue dates back a few more years in the past, when the "--" annotation
was introduced. (The loss of sync is caused by a token-level error in
Isabelle, such that Proof General gets the wrong idea about which part of
the text belongs to the ``command span''. The use of "--" is critical
here, other situations should be OK.)

There is no easy fix for the moment, but it should not take another 5
years to make it work properly ...
