Save the following as a .py file and open in an 'emacs -q': if True: x () if True: Put the point on the second 'if', i.e. line 3, column 4. * First press of DEL (Backspace) does nothing (bug 1); * Second press dedents the line --- ok; * Press C-/ to undo line dedention and so revert the buffer to original text; * Now third press of DEL _indents_ the line, even though it makes no sense in Python at all (bug 2). The buggy function is 'python-indent-dedent-line-backspace'. Paul
