Basically, I wanted to align a CSV set of rows, say a buffer containing the following text 1, 2, 3 aa, bb, cc long string, shorter, a using current (well, compiled around a week ago) Emacs master (with native compilation). Using `C-x h C-U M-x align-regexp RET ,\(\s-*\) RET RET RET y' didn't change the buffer at all. Since I do not use that facility often, I consulted the related manual section, then the AlignCommands on the wiki, and several other sources around the web, but could not figure out what I'm doing wrong. Then I installed version 28, and there the above worked as expected. Back home, I retried with both version 30 (commit 750bc59c, 2023-02-18) and version 29 (commit a5d4c29a, 2022-11-02), and the problem was present as well. Then I installed Debian's Emacs 28.2, and the thing worked. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any hint, bye, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. lele@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929.
