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

Message-ID: <719e1041-bbce-4162-b8f7-4dfcd3df0864@googlegroups.com> (raw)

(Deleting original message and posting this corrected version... (again -- formatting problems).)

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-s C-s   to search again
  - 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?
