Subject: 23.1.92; Info-index puts cursor at wrong position
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 10:26:06 +0900 (JST)

Info-index puts cursor at wrong position.  The key sequence in `Recent
input' below is the example when `save-excursion' is searched on emacs
lisp refernec manual.  Ideally (and acutually at least emacs 20.7 does)
it puts cursor at the line here:

 -- Special Form: save-excursion body...

.. but instead it puts 2 lines below.

I guess Info-index-next should be changed as follows:

=== modified file 'lisp/info.el'

    (Info-goto-node (nth 1 (car Info-index-alternatives)))
    (if (> (nth 3 (car Info-index-alternatives)) 0)
!       (forward-line (1- (nth 3 (car Info-index-alternatives))))
      (forward-line 3)			; don't search in headers
      (let ((name (car (car Info-index-alternatives))))
        (Info-find-index-name name)))
--- 3062,3069 ----
  	  num (1- num)))
    (Info-goto-node (nth 1 (car Info-index-alternatives)))
    (if (> (nth 3 (car Info-index-alternatives)) 0)
!       (forward-line (- (nth 3 (car Info-index-alternatives))
! 		       (line-number-at-pos)))
      (forward-line 3)			; don't search in headers
      (let ((name (car (car Info-index-alternatives))))
        (Info-find-index-name name)))

... when following change was done.
