However, sometime, I just want to alter a config file from the terminal. In this case I type emacs -nw conf_file.conf Very often I know that the line I want to go to is fairly low so before emacs has finished to load I'm already pressing C-n waiting for the display to show line and point. I guess a lot of user do the same and often don't wait for the display to finish before typing what they want. In this particular case, emacs would insert strange chars at point, for example : 1;1704;0c You won't be warned, and it will be saved along with your real modifications, which is embarassing. To reproduce, open any multiline file from the terminal, for example .bash_history, with 'emacs -nw' and immediatly maintain C-n until the display come up entirely. You should find at point the strange chars. Tested with emacs23cvs with -Q on Gnu/Linux with xterm and gnome-terminal. -- Paul
