Subject: bug#10803: 24.0.93; execute-kbd-macro doesn't preserve current buffer
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:54:26 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <817gzq8x4l.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)


Copy the below snippet to scratch buffer and C-x C-e it.

(with-temp-buffer  
  (message "1:%s" (buffer-name))
  (execute-kbd-macro "ab")
  (message "2:%s" (buffer-name))
  "Done")

This is what gets printed in the message buffer.
1: *temp*<2>
2:*scratch*
"Done"

I am wondering why execute-kbd-macro is meddling with the current
buffer, (that too in not so useful way). 

This bug is raised as a post-mortem of the following thread in
help-gnu-emacs which deals with transliteration from Roman text to
Hindi.
