Apparently not all Emacsen behave in this way though. If you have a moment, could you perform a similar test and let us know if the same thing happens to you. Include the Emacs version number in your follow-up, and if it _does_ happen to you and you have a little more time, whether you consider it a feature or a bug? Your assistance is much appreciated.
