Subject: Replacing huge hidden selection when pasting text
Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2015 17:01:40 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5da6a556-646f-42ba-9bae-f5bf4387f09e@googlegroups.com> (raw)

I have stopped hoping that the current maintainers of Emacs still have an ounce of common sense. How on Earth can it be possible (and quite easy) to allow replacing a huge hidden selection when pasting text without any warning ? I have lost large amounts of data with this incredibly stupid behavior. There isn't even a warning when saving a file which has shrunk a lot, like there once was. How can I DEFINITELY avoid overwriting an invisible selection in all versions of Emacs?
