Hi,

in GNU Emacs 23.0.50.7 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.6) of
2007-12-08, `comment-dwim' inserts three semi-colons whereas in GNU
Emacs 22.1.1 (i586-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.11.6) it insert only
two semi-colons.

To reproduce:

emacs -Q, type "foo", RET, C-SPC, C-SPC, <up>, M-; 

Result in Emacs CVS:

--8<---------------
;;; foo
--8<---------------

Expected result (and result in Emacs 22.1 and Emacs 22 branch):

--8<---------------
;; foo
--8<---------------

Bye, Reiner.

I think he is asking why this change, which I'm also curious to
know. 

Usually I would use `;;;' for separating blocks of lisp codes, I have
also seen many people use it for a similar aim.

That is an intentional change.

That is because in 23 comment-style defaults to indent-or-triple wheras
it defaults to indent in 22.  One problem with the new default is that
commented functions (or top-level sexps [starting in col 0]) are still
outline-headings.  See <E1J3egs-00056D-LQ@fencepost.gnu.org> (and the
messages above) for more infos.

Bye,
