Thanks for that fix. I found that top of the working branch is not what I expected:
M-x emacs-version yields
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2011-01-06 on bg [2 times]
version seen still is:
(defun prepare-abbrev-list-buffer (&optional local)
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Abbrevs*")
(erase-buffer)
(if local
(insert-abbrev-table-description
(abbrev-table-name local-abbrev-table) t)
(dolist (table abbrev-table-name-list)
(insert-abbrev-table-description table t)))
(goto-char (point-min))
(set-buffer-modified-p nil)
(edit-abbrevs-mode)
(current-buffer)))
If it is applied to 23.3, then why is it not showing up in 24.x?
I retrieved my copy of top of trunk Emacs via this command, which might be the culprit here:
git clone --depth 1 git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git
That was executed on Thu Jan 6 22:00:19 PST 2011
My expectation (probably wrong) is that when I pull source code from the remote system without any branch qualifier, I get code reflecting all bugs fixed regardless of intermediate branches. If that is ignorance talking, please reveal the right branches I need to pull from Git in order to get the latest work in progress. I'm not opposed to waiting for 24.x to be updated with 23.x if that is what is going on, or specifying a particular branch spec in my clone operation.
Thanks,
Brent

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':
Reproduce with:
1. Run emacs -Q.
2. From within the *scratch* buffer, type C-u M-x list-abbrevs RET.
3. See the *Abbrevs* buffer showing
"(fundamental-mode-abbrev-table)". The bug is that the current mode
at the time C-u M-x lisp-abbrevs RET is executed is in Lisp
Interaction mode, not Fundamental mode. Therefore, the C-u M-x
list-abbrevs RET operation should show lisp-mode-abbrev-table,
but should not show fundamental-mode-abbrev-table.
I believe I have found the bug in prepare-abbrev-list-buffer. The
current definition of prepare-abbrev-list-buffer is:
(defun prepare-abbrev-list-buffer (&optional local)
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Abbrevs*")
(erase-buffer)
(if local
(insert-abbrev-table-description
(abbrev-table-name local-abbrev-table) t)
(dolist (table abbrev-table-name-list)
(insert-abbrev-table-description table t)))
(goto-char (point-min))
(set-buffer-modified-p nil)
(edit-abbrevs-mode)
(current-buffer)))
My patched version that fixes the problem is as follows:
(defun prepare-abbrev-list-buffer (&optional local)
(let ((local-table local-abbrev-table))
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Abbrevs*")
(erase-buffer)
(if local
(insert-abbrev-table-description
(abbrev-table-name local-table) t)
(dolist (table abbrev-table-name-list)
(insert-abbrev-table-description table t)))
(goto-char (point-min))
(set-buffer-modified-p nil)
(edit-abbrevs-mode)
(current-buffer))))
The `with-current-buffer' call changes to the *Abbrevs* buffer which
is in fundamental mode, and then the local-abbrev-table (which is a
buffer-local value) is taken from fundamental mode, not from the mode
of the original buffer where the point was before the execution C-u
M-x list-abbrevs.
Thanks,
Brent
