Subject: 30.1; kill-this-buffer is broken in 30.1
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 13:17:57 +1100

After upgrading from 29.4 to 30.1, kill-this-buffer fails.
This is in the main menu, accessible in emacs -Q -nw via:

C-[ ` f c

This works in the GUI if you click on it with a mouse.
This does not work if you "click" on it via the key binding above.
This does not work if you bind your own custom binding.
This does not work if you do M-x kill-this-buffer.
This is annoying.

For the record,

Someone in #emacs pointed out that kill-current-buffer exists, so my 
personal annoyance is resolved:

-(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-k") 'kill-this-buffer)
+(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-k") 'kill-current-buffer)

(I still think it's a bit dumb that File > Close doesn't work in tmm.el 
anymore, but whatever.)

This is a duplicate of Bug#76526, so I'm merging them.

I agree that it would be good to avoid signaling an error when
kill-this-buffer is invoked from tmm-menubar.  Patches welcome.
