kmacro-end-and-call-macro repeats macro multiple times following isearch-forward

kmacro-end-and-call-macro repeats macro multiple times following isearch-forward

[nomiskatz]

I've just upgraded from Emacs 24.2.1 to Emacs 24.3.1.

Full version details:
  "GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36)
   of 2012-08-27 on bob.porkrind.org"
  and
  "GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36)
   of 2013-03-13 on bob.porkrind.org"

If I have a buffer with some text that is repeated several times and do the following...
  - C-s   (isearch-forward)   to search for the repeated text
  - C-x (   (kmacro-start-macro)
  - Enter some new text
  - C-x e  (kmacro-end-and-call-macro)
... I get different behaviour in my old and new versions of Emacs.

In Emacs 24.2.1 and all previous versions I've used, kmacro-end-and-call-macro calls the macro once more, and I can go through the file making changes one at a time, and I can stop when I want.

In Emacs 24.3.1, kmacro-end-and-call-macro calls the macro repeatedly making changes to all the repeated text up to the end of the file.

Interestingly, if I define a similar keyboard macro that uses next-error rather than isearch-forward I get my changes one at a time.

Is this some bizarre new behaviour for isearch-forward? Can I get the old behaviour back?

Grrrr! And apologies.

I missed out a step -- calling isearch-forward from within the keyboard macro.  It should be:

  - C-s   (isearch-forward)   to search for the repeated text
  - C-x (   (kmacro-start-macro)
  - Enter some new text
  - C-s C-s   to search again
  - C-x e  (kmacro-end-and-call-macro)

Sorry for all these messages. Google Groups thinks there's quoted text when there isn't. I'll stop trying to fix things now.

I'm not sure I follow you, but If I try to follow your recipe in
Emacs 24.3 (from `emacs -Q') then I see this: Each time I use `f4'
(`kmacro-end-and-call-macro') the cursor is moved to (just after)
the next search hit.  That is what I would expect, and it is also
what I see in Emacs 24.1 (from `emacs -Q').

I did this in `*scratch*':

 C-s e r C-x ( C-s C-s C-x ) f4 f4 f4...

Unless I misunderstand you, if you see something different for that
recipe, then be sure something in your init file is not interfering.

If you can reproduce the problem you see from `emacs -Q' then consider
filing an Emacs bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug'.

Thanks for trying it.

I did this (I'm on OS X):

  /Applications/Emacs-24-3-1.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q

Then in the *scratch* buffer:

  C-s   e r   C-x (   x x x x   C-s C-s   C-x e

Emacs made multiple changes for the  C-x e.

I'll file a bug report.

Thanks again.

I tried with a few NS versions (23.4, 24.2, 24.3, 24.3.50) on Mac OS X 10.6.8, Snow Leopard, and did not see any differences. All my Emacsen are self-compiled.
