[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 408 bytes --]
Steps to reproduce the bug:
- C-h r
- We can read the following text: "Killing (cutting) and yanking (copying)
text".
This is incorrect. The correct text should be "Killing (cutting) and
yanking (pasting) text".
I've attached a patch with the correction. (I've not filled the bug number
in the commit message because I don't know which number the bug tracker
will assign to this bug report.)
Thanks.
