However, sometimes (usually not the first time I find a file in any given Emacs session), C-a moves to the very beginning of the minibuffer (before the prompt), whereupon C-k produces an error message. I then have to manually C-f or M-f to get where I want. I'm pretty sure this is not the correct behavior, at least according to: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Minibuffer-Edit.html. I am running Emacs 23.1 on a Windows XP machine, but I have seen this same problem on Ubuntu 9.10. Thanks.

Thanks, Please keep the CC when replying, so that this information goes to the bug tracker. Thanks. You have probably installed some extra packages, some of which are interfering with the proper functioning of Emacs. Look in the site-start.d directory for the packages that may be causing this problem. Take them out one by one, and see if the bug goes away; that will tell you which is the offending package.

So then I looked in that directory and found just two files:

1) auctex.el
2) preview-latex.el

I removed them one by one, as you suggested, and the problem did not go away. I reloaded emacs after each removal.

I understand that what I've found is probably not a "bug", but a local problem
with my site-start.el file, but I've never modified that file, aside possibly
from installing aucTeX. I've attached the offending file. It's location, in my
work Windows laptop, is "C:\emacs-23.1\site-lisp". I get the same problems,
though, in my home Ubuntu laptop and in the Virtual Ubuntu machine I run on my
work computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

You do not see the problem if you start with -q or -Q. Therefore the problem is due to something in your ~/.emacs (or default.el, but this seems less likely). So you need to comment out things from your .emacs until you find what causes the problem. It's probably due to some external, non-Emacs package that you load, so I am closing this.

However, sometimes (usually not the first time I find a file in any given Emacs session), C-a moves to the very beginning of the minibuffer (before the prompt), whereupon C-k produces an error message. I then have to manually C-f or M-f to get where I want. I'm pretty sure this is not the correct behavior, at least according to: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Minibuffer-Edit.html. I am running Emacs 23.1 on a Windows XP machine, but I have seen this same problem on Ubuntu 9.10. Thanks.
