Problem with msf-abbrev under Emacs 23

Problem with msf-abbrev under Emacs 23

[Seweryn]

Hello,

I'm using the msf-abbrev [1] library
( http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MsfAbbrev ).
However starting from Emacs 23 the <choose> template does not work because it 
doesn't give any choice when expanding an abbrev while other templates like 
field, query work properly.

Do you have any idea how to fix it or have a newer version of msf-abbrev?

Regards,
Seweryn

I tested it  and I can use <choose> template, hit enter on the choice
, a buffer pops
which  I can choose from , I use emacs23 and msf-abbrev 1.0beta3.

Though in c-mode, msf-abbrev work strangely, so I have to tweak
c-mode-common-hook
a little bit like:
	 (make-local-variable 'text-property-default-nonsticky)
	 (assq-delete-all 'category text-property-default-nonsticky)

since emacs23 category is added to  text-property-default-nonsticky which stops
msf-abbrev  from working correctly in c-mode, but in other modes like
python-mode
,it works ok ,that includes <choose> template methoned above.

Thank you for help. In fact I checked again with hitting RET and the <choose> 
template worked. I don't know why I had impression that before it had worked 
in other way. Perhaps it would be better to have a message to press RET when 
the <choose> template is used or make the option window pop up without 
pressing any key?

I also appreciate  the tip how to fix msf-abbrev in c-mode.

Regards.
