No code highlighting without menu-bar?

[bbo2adwuff]

I don't see any code highlighting when starting emacs without a menu-bar.

No code highlighting with my init file menu-bar-off:

(package-initialize)
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(require 'js2-mode)

Code highlighting works with my init file menu-bar-not-off:

(package-initialize)
(require 'js2-mode)

I'm using following emacs version:
GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.17.6) of 2022-04-28

Can you try with a minimal init file? I disable menu-bar as well, and never had that issue myself.

Oh sorry, what I meant above was that these are my init files. Hence these are minimal init files.

emacs -q -l menu-bar-off and emacs -q -l menu-bar-not-off

How have you installed js2-mode?

[bbo2adwuff]

I installed it via melpa, but as I upgraded to 28.1 I realized that it might be related to #72.

So as in #72 (comment), this did the trick:
(byte-recompile-directory (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/elpa/js2-mode-20220402.2211/") 0 t)

Just for completeness, it seems that the menu-bar-mode -1 already played a role in another issue #572.
