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

Say we have a folder with the following content:

  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    2934 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_2.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    2736 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_3.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    3216 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_4.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users   62512 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_5.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users   59536 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_6.TIF

Using an Emacs keyboard macro, we want to substitute every '_' occurence
with '-' in every filename.


With GNU Emacs 30.1 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2025-02-23

and the macro:
C-x C-q C-SPC C-e ESC x r e p l a c e - s t r i n g RET _ RET -

we get:

  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    2934 2004-08-27
 TOM-I-RESULT-EXERCISE-1-DELAWARE-2.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    2736 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_3.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    3216 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_4.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users   62512 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_5.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users   59536 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_6.TIF

During the macro recording, when hitting RET after '-', then the following
message appears:

  Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)

The macro recording ended abnormally but the Dired buffer content changed
as intended
(but not the underlying filenames in the file system; reasonably as editing
mode
wasn't yet ended with C-c C-c).


The same behavior happens with GNU Emacs 29.4 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32)
of 2024-07-05.


With GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2019-08-29
and the same macro as before:
C-x C-q C-SPC C-e ESC x r e p l a c e - s t r i n g RET _ RET - RET C-c C-c
n

we get:

  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    2934 2004-08-27
 TOM-I-RESULT-EXERCISE-1-DELAWARE-2.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    2736 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_3.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users    3216 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_4.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users   62512 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_5.TIF
  -rw-rw-rw-  1 dan Domain Users   59536 2004-08-27
 TOM_I_RESULT_EXERCISE_1_DELAWARE_6.TIF

Replaced 6 occurrences
Keyboard macro defined

Everything is fine, no error, macro recording ended normally and the
filename was modified as expected.

Thanks for the bug report.  Now this is fixed in GNU Emacs 31.
