Why? If you want, you can add a short sentence there about the issue, with a cross-reference to where the issue is described in full. This is how we organize our manuals: when some topic could be relevant to more than one situation, we describe it in full in one place, and have short references in all the others. > Remember, this patch is not about edebug-save-windows. It's about point > getting corrupted. The index entries and the cross-references should solve this. And the issue _is_ related to edebug-save-windows and to the other similar option described in the same node. So having all of this info there makes the description more comprehensive.
