bug#14250: FW: bug#14250: 23.1; Files locked by myself

["Elrod, David" <elrodd@sharplabs.com>]

My fault for not doing "reply all"...

Typing:
    ^Mx(file-locked-p
when I type the space (' ') after the p, Emacs immediately inserts:
  [No match]
so I see:
  (file-locked-p [No match]

Leaving out the space and typing:
  (file-locked-p(buffer-file-name))
is OK, until I press the Enter key and then Emacs appends:
  (file-locked-p(buffer-file-name)) [No match]

If I put:
  (file-locked-p (buffer-file-name))
by itself in a file, save it, then do
 ^Mxeval-current-buffer

not seems to happen.

From experience, it's a great way to get people to reply.

Please use reply-to-all on bug reports.

He said to do:

(file-locked-p (buffer-file-name))

Literally type that.


Nothing about this makes any sense so far I am afraid.
