From: Uday S Reddy <usr.vm.rocks <at> gmail.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Cc: Uday S Reddy <usr.vm.rocks <at> gmail.com> Subject: 24.1; ehelp buffers inconsistent Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 11:23:49 +0100
Run 'emacs -Q' and then execute (require 'ehelp) (define-key global-map "\C-h" 'ehelp-command) Then get help on something, say C-h v enable-multibyte-characters. If you click on any of the hyperlinks on the resulting help page, Emacs24 says that the buffer is not in help-mode. Error: Current buffer is not in Help mode However, the buffer is in help-mode. Doing C-h m shows this: Enabled minor modes: Auto-Composition Auto-Compression Auto-Encryption Blink-Cursor File-Name-Shadow Font-Lock Global-Font-Lock Line-Number Menu-Bar Mouse-Wheel Savehist Show-Paren Transient-Mark Which-Function (Information about these minor modes follows the major mode info.) Help mode defined in `help-mode.el': Major mode for viewing help text and navigating references in it. Entry to this mode runs the normal hook `help-mode-hook'.
