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

Hi there,
<DEL> runs `delete-backward-char'.
However, I had a thought. I'm running Emacs with Emacspeak, which advices
some functions to act as a screen reader and speak the deleted character. I
can't verify that Emacspeak isn't causing this error, although reading the
source code of the advice, all i see is a call to `(preceding-char)'.
Is there a way to follow the execution and see what that scrolling function
is?
Another thing that I noticed is that when I do `C-x h' my point is in the
very beginning of the buffer. Not sure if it has always been the case.
So, when I type `a ' (that is, a and then a space) and press `C-x h',
`(point)' returns 1, `(region-beginning)' returns 1, and `(region-end)'
returns 3.
I hope this is all useful.
Best,
Parham
