(I have no access to a GUI Emacs built from the > master branch on GNU/Linux.) It is from a tty. I just tried to make this fail starting from emacs -Q and couldn't do so. The initial C-g failure, not quitting out of the minibuffer, doesn't happen right after startup. However, once C-g fails to quit, it continues failing reliably. And it fails regardless of the purpose of the minibuffer. I learned not to type C-g to get out of a minibuffer. First I tried giving operands that would be meaningless. Then I thought of using C-]. As a result of this change in my usage, it does not get hung. But the bug is still there. If I can make it fail again, I will send a backtrace. ISTR that at least once Emacs was in a state where C-g did not turn off region highlighting. I suspect that is the same bug, appearing in a different way. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
