The fact is that it helped the OP in this case. As I said somewhere else, the use of unibyte is generally a bug. It might superficially fix things sometimes, but then it's because of a bug somewhere else. In the OP's case, I'm pretty sure the problem is that Emacs does not properly set the keyboard coding-system. I don't think the manual should encourage to use workarounds (e.g. set the unibyte:t cookie in your .emacs) rather than real fixes (set the keyboard coding system properly). Stefan
