Ok, we disagree. Probably you define "bug" as something that cannot be made to fit the description. The net effect is that at some point typing ^W will keep appending the same word over and over. I would say, either update the text window too or disallow using ^W after a failure. I prefer the former, preferably in combination with a rest of the failure, just like ^S does. > By the way, Emacs 23.2 is now pretty old. You might want to consider > upgrading to a newer version. The current released version is 24.5. Unfortunately it comes with the version of my OS X, and upgrading leads to all kinds of trouble when I try to use regular (Apple) updates. Thanks for your energy. I still hold this is unexpected and unwanted behavior if not a bug, but I respect your different opinion and will learn to live with it. I guess, if I want it my way, I should do what you do and donate my time for improving emacs. :-) Thanks again, btw. :-D Regards, -- Jan-Mark --j4Kuo3cLD8VSfMkXTFgw9PIfcUqrxn8OR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2 Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJWaXkJAAoJEMPTqz3b/FP8tOcP/iDvj871iueguEAWVAulecBU B4C2vKeK6qO40FL70uP9vXnYrSy0hCh1SlJc8fzA9WN30qBx4DTEVduLHPLfc34Y /6yv+a5N2I/BT+g0h3gQpNCQE1d3EdfuDEdfa9EWocITRGR3xrbozYOtYuAYx1Yc hsNSkSlNQJQmPdv4ex8dLy+yjuSLDI9ETYrfLhDuY5Ozy8LtszM2oOsK3LLKJJ8u LGw4W42YSVBZVlLjq37B4kKi88GbfRWRkvCV6Z3rkwYwDyZJrh6YZzBafmXvWPyL ySlnE4QuR5+AiEPsk6qOjVhhzzHQlp2HQeJ6J6ZNWtEAiDXZSljGQBz4NF4eG/46 hnpCmp5iKhJeGIGELv+P5LQHNM/yubnAg4or533nce+VXA6XFZsEEc7Q9ENGgqgY Cl+VZKCYjrc3tAx6SNXcxbmL/TTToG80ara0pp9OUhXYWO2EQqi2MpLHSkuW6fbC TW51xlm1558rGY6mezV2+ktO+D0Pto5Uu+f8kdxzDs4iDFaWezQERQ9AGR0u93hj l2XWF6VN/cgsbmRGrMmbNC0k16aWeCsqJ/lg0csMjqmQqxs+5Bkmcn9VQlQzY0j+ SRrXVX94DtJxIwXJFxB8YRKuvjSCZKqW59aGsJ3VW/cmnwEEblJU1vPdoVTF5Zmk Z2+UzkbWK4hdWwFMkfkM =8ABu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --j4Kuo3cLD8VSfMkXTFgw9PIfcUqrxn8OR--
