[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

[This is the first time I use character classes in Emacs, so my
apologies if this is not an Emacs bug, but a misinterpretation.]

Recipe from "emacs -Q":
  C-M-s [ : a l p h a : ]

I expected to see all letters highlighted [1], but only some of them
are (see attached screenshot).


--- Footnotes ---
[1] I've checked "(elisp) Char Classes".

See (info "(elisp) Regexp Special") : character classes work in
alternatives, so you should use [[:alpha:]] instead of just [:alpha:]

hth,

Exactly.  I was just typing that same reply myself.

I'm closing the bug.  Thank you and sorry for the noise.
