Would you like to investigate it? Sure, we just need to remove the call to constrain-to-field in its definition. However, I would argue it's not a bug, but an important feature: when I use an editable field, I have come to expect C-a to jump back only to the beginning of the field, not all the way back to the first column. This is especially useful in a customize buffer. Note that the original `beginning-of-line' also stops at field boundaries. (By symmetry, I also expect C-e to stop at the end of the field, but despite the docstring of `move-end-of-line' that doesn't happen.) --=20 K=C3=A1roly
