("asdf")

Cursor at char "f" of "asdf"

M-: (thing-at-point 'list) RET

returns "f" while it should give the whole list ("asdf")

Thanks all!

Please, nobody apply this patch (preferably, don't even reference it),
since the author has issues with copyright assignment.
That's his prerogative of course, but as has been pointed out in the
past it makes it impossible for us to use any patches.

Please let's NOT have yet another discussion of those assignment issues
here, I'm just pointing out facts, not making any judgements.

http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/contribute.html:

"Individual small changes (fewer than 10 lines of code) can, however, be accepted
without a copyright assignment form on file. "

Added four lines of code.

As for the assignment mentioned, it stipulates for example:

"I hereby indemnify and hold harmless the Foundation, its
officers, employees, and agents against any and all claims,
actions or damages (including attorney's reasonable fees)
asserted by or paid to any party on account of a breach or
alleged breach of the foregoing warranty."

Where the "alleged breach" is the point.
So you indemnify also if being falsely brought to court?
Alleged is enough?

Wondering, how reasonable people may sign such a contract.

Let's stick to the ffap bug here, and leave debates about copyright
assignments elsewhere (ideally not emacs-devel either).

Didn't introduce that matter here.

As for the trivial patch, you will find a way to fix it with an alternative triviality,
 should my decent piece not being accepted.

BTW there are some more issues around, this might the most crucial one wrt to results, as it will no longer break
 when called from inside a string.

Regards,

Andreas

I cannot reproduce the issue on master today, should I close this
ticket?

Yes, it's fixed in 26.1.  See also Bug#31772 for discussion over the new
