bug#34916: Dired-do-remove not moving last item in the list

When marking all files in a directory and choosing 'R' to rename them all (move to a different direcotry), the last file is always left untouched.

I have tested on 5 or 6 different directories today and it happened every time.

To reproduce, open a dired buffer, mark all files and try to move them to other directory.

It seems like very last file gets unmarked for some reason after the 'R' is pressed.

My Emacs version is build from git master last week:

GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5)
 of 2019-03-06

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this.  Do you see this behaviour
with 'emacs -Q'?  Here's what I tried:

0. emacs -Q
1. (progn (kill-new (make-temp-file "my-to-" t))
          (dired (make-temp-file "my-from-" t))
          (dotimes (i 3)
            (dired-create-empty-file (format "file-%d" i))))
2. C-x C-e
3. * s
4. R C-a C-k M-2 C-y RET

The result is that all three files are moved from the current "my-from-"
directory to the "my-to-" directory.  Do you observe something
different?  Would you be able to provide a more precise recipe?

Thanks,

That was one year ago, with no further replies.

Since I also can't reproduce this according to the recipe above, I'm
closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this email
(use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can reopen the bug
report.
