I would like to report the following bug.
Open the attached file in Emacs, and move point to the first position.
Define a keyboard macro: (I want to put each line inside double-quotes)
" ;; self-insert-command
C-e ;; move-end-of-line
" ;; self-insert-command
C-a ;; message-beginning-of-line
<down> ;; next-line
Now ask Emacs to repeat this macro 49 times.
The result is wrong: at around line 35, the first double-quote
is no longer at the start of the line; then on successive lines
the position of the first inserted double-quote walks to the right.
