Could you provide a recipe to reproduce this bug, beginning with
`emacs -Q'?

Hi,
I understand that what I've found is probably not a "bug", but a local problem
with my site-start.el file, but I've never modified that file, aside possibly
from installing aucTeX. I've attached the offending file. It's location, in my
work Windows laptop, is "C:\emacs-23.1\site-lisp". I get the same problems,
though, in my home Ubuntu laptop and in the Virtual Ubuntu machine I run on my
work computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

It only happens when I load emacs normally or when I load it with `emacs
--no-site-file'... shall I then assume it either has to do with site-start.el?
I'm not an emacs expert, and didn't even know there was a file called
`site-start.el'. Any ideas what the problem could be? See notes below.
Thanks,
Tony
A. If I
1. load emacs normally (either typing `emacs' at the prompt or clicking its
icon on my launch bar)
2. C-x C-f test
3. C-x C-w
4. C-a now goes to beginning of minibuffer (before the prompt).
B. If I
1. load emacs with `emacs -Q' from the command line
2. C-x C-f test2
3. C-x C-w
4. C-a goes to the expected (correct) location, after the prompt.
C. If I
1. load emacs with `emacs --no-site-file'
2. C-x C-f test3
3. C-x C-w
4. C-a goes to the beginning of the minibuffer (same problem as A).
D. If I
1. load emacs with `emacs -q' (lower-case) from the command line
2. C-x C-f test2
3. C-x C-w
4. C-a goes to the expected (correct) location, after the prompt.

Please keep the CC when replying, so that this information goes to the
bug tracker. Thanks.
You have probably installed some extra packages, some of which are
interfering with the proper functioning of Emacs. Look in the
site-start.d directory for the packages that may be causing this
problem. Take them out one by one, and see if the bug goes away; that
will tell you which is the offending package.

No, this means it is NOT to do with site-start.el.
> A. If I
Summary of your 4 cases:
You see the problem if you start Emacs normally, or with --no-site-file.
You do not see the problem if you start with -q or -Q.
Therefore the problem is due to something in your ~/.emacs (or
default.el, but this seems less likely).
So you need to comment out things from your .emacs until you find what
causes the problem. It's probably due to some external, non-Emacs
package that you load, so I am closing this. But if it turns out to be
an Emacs issue, please reply with details and we can reopen this if
needed.
