Since I've failed to make it reproducible so far, I assume that it happens due to an unstable CVS version that I got. My Emacs seems to switch into this strange yank mode approximately twice per week and stays there until restarted, but sometimes it recovers earlier. Yes, I do know how odd this sounds. :-/ Anyway, I think I can live with it until the next release. Tschoe, Torsten. -- Torsten Bronger, aquisgrana, europa vetus
