Do you see this in "emacs -Q"?  If not, can you tell which
customizations are necessary to reproduce the problem?  If it does
occur in "emacs -Q", could you please describe the exact sequence of
actions to reproduce it?  I cannot reproduce it on my system in
"emacs -Q", but maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks.
