Any help would be appreciated. Hello, When doing C-k C-y M-y, hit M-y again and you should see the normal behavior. For some reason the first M-y has no effect, or contains the first entry in the kill ring, as you say. However, subsequent M-y work as expected. At least that's what I'm seeing. I'm filing bug report about the empty yank item. You can do this too if you find anything else (M-x report-emacs-bug). Also make sure to notice the Menu item Edit | Select and Paste. It shows the current contents of your kill ring. So you can tell the kill ring is at least doing it's job. Hope this helps, // Alex Rice // Mindlube Software // http://mindlube.com
