Given:
1) Starting with -Q does exhibit the problem but I
can't reconfigure just now
2) I don't use client mode
3) (save-abbrevs 'silently) ;; is required to exhibit problem
M-x edit-abbrev
Make any arbitrary change
C-x C-s ;; save the changes
M-x kill-buffer ;; optional
M-: abbrevs-changed yields t ;; flag is still set despite
changes being saved
Click the application [x] (top right corner of the frame) to exit
Emacs.
Expectation:
Since there are no unsaved changes, Emacs should exit
normally.
Even if the changes are somehow technically still considered
unsaved (although
I can't see why) the save should still be silent. Or, in the case
of (save-abbrevs t)
there doesn't seem to be a way to tell that it's the abbrevs that
want saving so
deciding how to answer is a dilemma.
What actually happens:
Emacs prompts if I want to save unsaved changes before
quitting but gives no
indication of what changes are outstanding. No buffers are
visiting files so
troubleshooting was arduous until I noticed the correlation with
abbrev-mode.
As a temporary fix I did this:
(defadvice abbrev-edit-save-buffer (after
my-abbrev-edit-save-buffer last activate)
"Insure that abbrevs-changed is reset after abbrevs are saved."
(setq abbrevs-changed nil)
)
I see no drawbacks to the setq being in abbrev-edit-save-buffer
since the target
file in that function is the canonical abbrev-file-name.
Otherwise, only the
abbrev--possibly-save hook on save-some-buffers-functions ever
resets it.
