emacs -Q C-u C-h i /path/to/elisp RET g Handling Errors RET Now press TAB repeatedly to move point to the "Definition of signal" hyperlink, and press RET => you will find yourself in the "Signaling Errors" node, but 3 lines above the place where the description of `signal' begins. I see this on GNU/Linux with Texinfo 4.12 and on MS-Windows with Texinfo 4.8. (But I don't think makeinfo is the culprit, see below.) This is a regression from Emacs 22.3, which behaves as expected. Emacs 23.1 has the same problem as the current pretest. (Both 22.3 and 23.1 were tested with the same Info files as 23.1.94.) The trunk has the same problem as well. In GNU Emacs 23.1.94.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2010-03-12 on HOME-C4E4A596F7 Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600 configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4)' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: ENU value of $XMODIFIERS: nil locale-coding-system: cp1255 default enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Mail Minor modes in effect: shell-dirtrack-mode: t diff-auto-refine-mode: t flyspell-mode: t desktop-save-mode: t show-paren-mode: t display-time-mode: t tooltip-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t tool-bar-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t temp-buffer-resize-mode: t line-number-mode: t abbrev-mode: t Recent input: C-z C-z C-z C-z C-z C-z <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <switch-frame> l <return> <help-echo> C-x = <switch-frame> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <switch-frame> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <C-home> C-x C-x <switch-frame> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <switch-frame> <switch-frame> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <switch-frame> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <help-echo> <switch-frame> C-x C-s C-x 4 a H o w SPC t o SPC r e - t h r o w SPC a SPC s i g n a l SPC c a u g h t SPC b y SPC c i o <backspace> o n d i t i o n - c a s e <C-left> <C-left> <right> <delete> <M-right> .
