Can please It is you who are being silly in your bug report, you are not being very clear.

Yes, both work (do mention that) but we want to > promote "--". GNU projects don't use man pages as their official source for information, --help and the info page is used for this. > Also note --geometry vs tool-bar-mode in the tool-bar-mode docstrings. I do not see any such reference in the tool-bar-mode docstring, both for the function and variable. Please be more clear. When reporting a bug report report what you are seeing and why you think it is a bug, you haven't done this. Please do it next time so that we can stop playing these guessing games and waste time. -- Alfred M. Szmidt
