bug#17541: 24.3; wdired do not allow to edit first char in filenames

Hi,

When I enter into wdired-mode I can edit every char in the file names but
the first.

For instance, workaround or renaming "foo" to "afoo" is to insert "af"
after "f" and then delete first "f" with backspace.

Patch below to file to wdired.el fixes the issue for me.

Regards
juanleon

Thanks for the report, but I cannot reproduce this.
I can rename "foo" to "afoo" just fine.
Does this happen with emacs -Q?

Weird.  That does not happen with emacs -Q.

I did a binary search of all the stuff in my init file to narrow the
problem and then, when narrowed to a single defun in a configuration file,
the problem went away (I suspect that when init-loader recompiled that
file).

So I am left with same configuration than yesterday and no problem!  Good;
I suppose.

Thanks

It's called the placebo effect!
