Sometime all caps etc. I wonder if there is some setting I need to do when I get into this situation.

I believe you're running into behavior I have also seen. Consider the following scenario. In an otherwise empty buffer, enter the following three non-blank lines (blanks here for readability): Test1String TEST2STRING Test Run the following tests, each with the cursor at the end of the third line. (It does not matter if there is a newline after the third line.) Firstly, invoke M-/ and what you will get is Test2string. Secondly, delete the third line and replace it with "TEST1" before invoking M-/ and what you will get is TEST1STRING. Thirdly, delete the third line and replace it with "test2" before invoking M-/ and what you will get is test2string. I don't what this case-matching behavior is called, but it catches me occasionally too....
