I just installed Emacs 24.1 on Mac OS X Lion, and found that my Ada code
seemed to have been eaten away. For example, if the code said
"with Foo;"
it would appear as
"with ;"
This is to do with colouring in font-lock-mode.
I posted a note about a workround at
http://forward-in-code.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/where-did-my-constants-go.html.
As to the reason .. another day, perhaps!

This doesn't happen for me on Windows 7 (just upgraded today :).

that says the problem is font-lock-constant-face, which is set to "dark
cyan" by default.
On my system, font-lock-constant-face is set to 'font-lock-constant-face,
which is confusing :). Using Options | Customize Emacs | Specific Face
..., I can see it is set to "CadetBlue".
I don't know why that would be different on a different OS.

Nor do I.
Did you see the note I added to that blog entry?
"Of course, I could have checked on Google: the problem appears to be
caused by an old version of Emacs (from 2005) leaving droppings[1].
"Remove ~/Library/Colors/Emacs.clr, restart Emacs, and all is well.
