Hi,
I am a long-term emacs user (for 31 years) but I have a strange problem since my recent upgrade to 29.1 (as part of my Fedora distribution upgrade from 38 to 39).
I try:
$ emacs test.txt
And I get a window that simply loads the following:

OK, that is unusual, so let me add a few lines of text and try and save, having done this for over 31 years.
I type, hit Ctrl-x and am asked where to save it:

Which file to save in? That is odd, why? Anyway, I type again "test.txt" and am told that the file is saved (and it is). Fine.
Then I hit Ctrl-Q and exit but am asked:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/DBuU1.png
No idea what this is about, but OK, "no". ("yes" does not change the outcome).
The file is saved and exists:
https://i.stack.imgur.com/sgAY0.png
OK, let us load this file again, with
emacs test.txt
I get a new "scratch" file loaded (same screenshot as the first one above). What happened to my created file (that still exists)?
I am not sure how to load a file, or save it. How do I get back the old behavior?
Thanks a lot for any help and suggestions!
Happy to provide more information.
Many thanks and best wishes,
GT
