This has been fixed several releases back, so I'm closing it.

Subject: 23.1; Repeating emacs macro skipping every second line
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2010 11:38:25 -0700

I created a keyboard macro to move a word from the end of the line to the start of the line. At the end of it I include the commands - "move-beggining-of-line" followed by "next-line" so that I can repeat it through my file.
If I run it interactively "by hand" it works great. If I call it with a numerical repeat value to make it run say 20 times, it skips every second line.

This basically makes keyboard macros useless to me for the first time in over 25 years of using emacs.. I will try "forward-line" to see if it behaves the same way..
