emacs -Q
C-<home> ; Go to top left corner of scratch buffer.
C-x <SPC> ; Start a rectangular selection.
C-3 C-f ; Extend the selection to the right by 3 characters.
Expected result: Emacs creates a rectangular selection one character
high and three characters wide.
Actual result: Emacs hangs. (C-g quits.)
With debug-on-quit on, I then get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
rectangle--*-char(forward-char 3 backward-char)
rectangle-forward-char(3)
funcall-interactively(rectangle-forward-char 3)
call-interactively(rectangle-forward-char nil nil)
command-execute(rectangle-forward-char)
On the other hand, the following recipe works as expected:
emacs -Q
C-<home> ; Go to top left corner of scratch buffer.
C-x <SPC> ; Start a rectangular selection.
C-f C-f C-f ; Extend the selection to the right by 3 characters.
Note 1: The exact position in the scratch buffer seems to be unimportant.
Note 2: `C-n' with a numeric prefix argument seems to work fine to extend
the rectangular region downwards.
Note 3: I see this with the Emacs 25.0.95 pre-test tarball [and with the
25.0.90 pre-test for that matter]. The problem is still present in the
Emacs 25 branch as of earlier this afternoon. I do not see the problem
with Emacs 24.5.
Please let me know if any further information is required. Thanks.
