Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': I've tried to install Emacs 24.2 from multiple sources: http://emacsformacosx, the GNU sources (configure --with-ns), and MacPorts. All of them have the same problem on *two* different Macintosh computers running Mountain Lion. Emacs 23.4 works just fine. BTW, I've been using emacs for about 20 years, so the bug (saving a file to disk) isn't pilot error. When I start emacs and create a new file (~/abc) and type something into it, the two asterisks appear to show that the buffer is modified. When I attempt to save it, I get the message "Saving file /Users/jcroix/abc...". However, the message never goes away, the two asterisks never disappear, and the file is never written. If I look at my directory, I can see the restore file ".#abc -> jcroix@mac-jcroix.cadence.com.24380" with a size of 35, but the file "abc" is not present. When I attempt to quit emacs (^x ^c), I get the message "Save file /Users/jcroix/abc? (y, n, !, ., q, C-r, d or C-h)" at which point I hit "y". Up pops a message "Modified buffers exist; exit anyway? (yes or no)". If I type "no", I remain in edit mode, and the two asterisks are still present. If I type "yes", the save file is deleted but the file "abc" is absent. There are no errors in the "*Messages*" buffer. Here are the contents of that buffer: Loading delsel...done Loading paren...done For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
