List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:5894 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:5894 Hi, I got a new CVS build running a couple days ago (21.3.50.1) after running 21.1.x for quite some time. In the transition, 8 bit input chars on a TTY lost their meta-ness. Thus, I press ALT-X which creates an 8 bit character, and it inserts a circle with a line through it instead of providing my favorite prompt. I looked through NEWS on input methods, but saw nothing indicating such a change. I checked my input methods (after learning what they were) and it appears that I am running with full defaults (nil). I also used apropos to look up input methods, 8 bit, and a few other things but didn't see a configuration variable for this new behavior. I retested in 21.1, and 21.2 and they work fine. ALT-X in an X version of the same Emacs also works fine.
