Subject: strange behaviour in keyboard macro
Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2017 07:51:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170730055106.GA2292@ordenador31> (raw)
I saved a keyboard macro like this:
<<search-forward>> ;; search-forward
Priority: ;; self-insert-command * 9
SPC ;; self-insert-command
required ;; self-insert-command * 8
RET ;; newline
<<backward-paragraph>> ;; backward-paragraph
C-n ;; next-line
<<search-forward>> ;; search-forward
: ;; self-insert-command
SPC ;; self-insert-command
RET ;; newline
When I execute it sometimes it does what I mean and the cursor ends on the right line.
But sometimes it ends (erroneously) on the following line. For example (I added numbers
for reference):
1: Package: mypkg
2: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
3: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
4: Priority: normal
5:
6: Package: mypkg2
7: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
8: Priority: required
backward-paragraph should set the cursor at line 5 (blank line) so
cursor should end up at line 6.
At first it seemed random. Then I tried to find a pattern and found
out that it has something to do with text scrolling. When I repeat the
macro starting at a distant point (like half the window size) I manage
to get alternating results, that is, with one execution it ends at
line 6 and with the next execution (reseting the start position) it
ends at line 7.
Emacs version 24.4.1. Fundamental mode.
Is this a bug? I think with emacs 23 it worked fine.
