For instance, beginning-of-line moves the cursor to the first slash. So far so good. But if I then run the command backward-kill-word (M-DEL), the cursor moves to the "f" of the word "file" and I get the message Text is read-only: # I'm sure you can reproduce the problem because I can can even reproduce it with a precompiled binary for Widows I use at work.
