Subject: bug#13178: Query-replace fails soon after narrow-to-region
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2015 08:31:03 +0900 (JST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150304.083103.1686913135825312962.teika@gmx.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAAdUY-Kh_ypUJh=mKjBg69Bi_x9+Gc7g8A_TiC=Y_dUN79Jv1A@mail.gmail.com>

Docs of `use-empty-active-region' and `use-region-p' use the word "empty", but in fact the predicate is (> (region-end) (region-beginning)). It's confusing. (And also the Emacs Info, "Operating on the Region" section.)

For replace.el, the condition is correct (= what users expect.) Although I don't know other cases, maybe the explanation "empty" is too simplistic? (Sorry that I don't come up with a concise replacement description for that case.)

Thank you very much Emacs developers. And of course to Drew Adams for your kind reply and wide range, long time contributions.
