[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I agree with Stu,

I wanted to see the first match of an Error in its context, so I used grep
-E Error -m 1 -C 10.
Grep didn't show the context after the match because there was another
match for Error right after the first.
I'd like to have an option to see the full context whether it has matches
or not.

ps. This is actually bug #28588 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?28588
