Sometimes I switch to the other window and type C-x 1, edit that message file, and save it. Then I switch back to the Dired buffer. Occasionally I find that point has moved up some number of lines in the Dired buffer. The number of lines varies. This has been happening for months. When I notice it, I type C-h l, but I have not noticed anything significant in the output. And I have not been able to reproduce it. Has anyone else seen something like this? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
