From: Reuben Thomas <rrt <at> sc3d.org> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.0.92; Odd behavior of kill interspersed with suspend: document or change? Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:21:15 +0000
If a sequence of kill commands is interspersed with a suspend (suspend-emacs or suspend-frame, for example), then the kills are not treated as a contiguous sequence, and a following yank does not yank all the text killed. This feels a bit odd, as “suspend” is not a normal command: rather like suspending a computer, I expect that after resuming Emacs, it will be in the same state as when suspended. But this is not the case: if one suspends Emacs after a kill command, then on resumption a further kill will start a new kill-ring entry. Is this behavior worth reconsidering? If not, is it worth documenting? (Presumably under suspend, rather than under killing, as I imagine this behavior changing has implications for things beyond the kill-ring.)
