Subject: bug#49593: Emacs overrides normal-erase-is-backspace
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2021 16:57:49 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f5ff7310c4880b6a9e07b771e1c8ae5e@purelymail.com> (raw)

Overview:

Emacs overrides user's customization of normal-erase-is-backspace with 
no clear way to set it.

Steps to reproduce:

1. insert into start.el:

     (custom-set-variables '(normal-erase-is-backspace t))

2. emacs -Q -l start.el

3. M-x customize-option RET normal-erase-is-backspace

Expected behaviour:

normal-erase-is-backspace is t.

Actual behaviour:

normal-erase-is-backspace is maybe; marked as "CHANGED outside of 
Customize"
