Hi, Emacs.
1. Start emacs -Q.
2. Visit, successively, two random buffers foo and bar.
3. In buffer foo, do M-x electric-indent-local-mode.
4. In buffer bar, do M-x electric-indent-mode.
Both buffers now have e-i-mode disabled.
5. Still in buffer bar, do M-x electric-indent-mode.
This, being a global mode, should enable e-i-mode in all buffers. But
in buffer foo, electric-indent-mode remains disabled. This is a bug.
Suggestion for a fix: make electric-indent-local-mode a self-sufficient
minor mode, and define electric-indent-mode with
define-globalized-minor-mode.

I don't think it's worth the trouble.

Actually, upon further consideration, I don't think this one is a bug.
The behavior you want would make sense, but the current one also
makes sense. At step 3 the user specifically requested to disable
electric-indent in `foo' so changing the global setting should not
affect it.
So the real problem is that electric-indent-local-mode is not consistent
in this regard (it sometimes remembers a local setting even if it's
equal to the global setting, and sometimes treats a local setting equal
to the global setting as meaning "obey the global setting").
Worse:
(electric-indent-mode -1)
(electric-indent-local-mode 1)
(electric-indent-mode 1)
(electric-indent-mode -1)
leaves us with a buffer where electric-indent-mode is locally t but
there is no electric indentation.

I think I fixed this, now, as well as the "C-j is newline even after
disabling electric-indent-local-mode".

It seems to me that the issues here that were going to get fixed, did,
so I suggest closing it.

OK, closing this now.
