Subject: bug#1727: 23.0.60; end-of-sentence and non-breaking space
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:47:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y6xv7kmc.fsf__4348.85858926481$1230782763$gmane$org@cyd.mit.edu> (raw)

From bug#1726 and bug#1727:

> forward-sentence does not treat non-breaking space as a space for
> purposes of sentence ends.
...
> When I type C-x = at a non-breaking space, it tells me that it

> Is that a bug?  It seems quite confusing to me.

ISTR that there was an extended discussion about classifying

Does anyone remember the details?
