Is this still an issue on modern versions of Emacs? More information was requested, but none was given within 5 weeks, so I'll go ahead and assume this has been fixed in the years since this was reported. If this is still an issue with a modern version of Emacs, please reopen the bug report. Best regards, Stefan Kangas
