Subject: bug#52098: 28.0.50; (thing-at-point thing) returns blank string in buffer with only whitespace
Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2021 11:27:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c686c26f-1609-25d1-8eee-39c8f643c1b4@daniel-mendler.de> (raw)
1. emacs -Q
2. Open new buffer "bug"
3. Enter a few spaces or newlines, but buffer is otherwise empty
4. M-: (thing-at-point 'word) -> Result is string with white space " "
The things `word`, `sexp`, `defun`, `sentence` are also affected.
On Emacs 27, (thing-at-point 'symbol) returns returns also a string with
white space only, but this has been fixed apparently in Emacs 28.
In GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 58, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.24.5, cairo version 1.16.0)
