Well, it never hurts to get the latest Emacs! I'm on GNU Emacs
29.0.50 so that's quite a difference ... (Here are some
commands that may help you, I made them work on Debian 11 at

https://dataswamp.org/~incal/conf/.zsh/install-emacs ) It is,
or they have made it I should say, _very easy_ to get/compile
the latest version!

As for your problem, relax, you/we will solve it ... j'ai

happen? Can you describe it in human terms rather? "When I do
... I'd like this to happen ... and not this ..." ?
