That's a question of user's opinions and expectations. IOW, it's not clearly a bug, but it sounds like you should `M-x report-emacs-bug` anyway and request this (whether it's called a bug or a feature request doesn't really matter). > * Secondary selection > ===================== > > When text is selected, deselecting it is done by clicking 'M-mouse-1', > is this how it suppose to work?

No, this is normal and correct: The packages in GNU ELPA are forward compatibility packages, making it possible to use in older Emacsen (some of) the functionality of those packages that are builtin in more recent Emacsen. Hence the lower version number. > If I use 'fill-paragraph' (M-q) on paragraph, inside things like > \footnote{} or \emph{}, if they're long, text is indented with 2 > spaces - look below.

But setting tex-indent-basic from 2 to 0 is likely too drastic. You should probably `M-x report-emacs-bug` asking for a new feature that uses a 0 "basic indentation" for those cases (the hard part being to characterize what are "those" cases), i.e. at least when the \emph{ (or similar) is in the middle of a text line, as in your example. > * Ghostscript program name > ========================== > > Variable 'doc-view-ghostscript-program' has value - 'gs' - which is OK > for Unix and VMS, but NOT OK for MS Windows.

Probably best handled as a bug: the default could simply (executable-find "gs") and (executable-find "gswin32c") and use whichever was found, but I'll let people more in the know of the Windows ways decide the details.
