I was advised to use this second address, as the bug-gnu-emacs address bounced back to me. Robert -------- Original Message -------- Subject: M-% not correctly interpreted. Date: Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:45:56 +0100 From: Robert Dunn To: bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) M-% (replace) returns M-1/2 on the message line at the bottom All subsequent keystrokes produce strange characters. The "%" character does appear properly in normal text. Attached are two screenshots - one taken after the command M-% was issued and one typing the same characters as before showing the change. If there is anything else you need please ask. Regards Robert If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /usr/share/emacs/22.2/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
