Hi,

I'm trying to use undo boundaries, but I'm unable to explain its
behavior.

For example:

(defun test ()
  (interactive)
  (insert "a")
  (undo-boundary)
  (insert "b"))

If I do M-x test, I get:
ab
  ^

But if I undo once, I get:
a
^

What I was expecting:
a
 ^

Is this a bug or is there a reason for this behavior?


regards,
Nikolaj Schumacher

A bug, IMO.  Emacs 21 does what you expect.

The likely suspect is this change:

undo.c
revision 1.55
date: 2002-04-04 22:42:56 +0200;  author: monnier;
(record_point): New fun.
(record_delete, record_insert): Use it.
