I suspect you are in some special mode that's trying to be clever about capitalization. The first step is to run with -q -no-site-file and confirm that it doesn't do that anymore. Then add one or the other back to figure out which file is the cause. Finally, assuming it's something in your .emacs, start commenting out sections to find the offending line. anne001 wrote: > Emacs keep changing cases on me.
