Well, the report is pre-21.1 and the change is post-21.1, so we now have a change in behaviour from a released version. Did anyone complain about this post 21.1? I, for one, prefer the 21.1 behaviour for *compilation* buffers. But, I can see that the change is likely better for *grep* buffers. Perhaps *compilation* should behave differently from *grep* in this respect? -----Original Message----- From: Chong Yidong [mailto:cyd@stupidchicken.com]=20 Sent: 04 February 2008 15:14 To: Marshall, Simon Cc: Drew Adams; emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org Subject: Re: [21.1.90]: point put at point-min in *compilation* "Marshall, Simon" writes: > In 21.1, if you run Compile | Compile...

I think this is due to the following change: 2007-12-27 Richard Stallman * progmodes/compile.el (compilation-start): Set initial visible point properly even when compilation buffer already current. Which was meant to address this complaint: From: Drew Adams Sent: Monday, December 11, 2006 3:21 PM Previously in Emacs 22, as well as in previous releases, , repeating grep in the *grep* buffer would put you at the top of the buffer. This was true at least as late as a build from 2006-07-19. =20=20=20=20 Now, it puts you at the end of the buffer, so you must do M-< to get back to the beginning. Quite annoying.
