Hi, save-place-mode cannot restore last saved position when `save-place-abbreviate-file-names' is non-nil: - emacs -Q - M-x save-place-mode, and set save-place-abbreviate-file-names to t - open a file, scroll to some position, and kill buffer - reopen the file, the position is not restored The reason is it uses abbreviated file names when saving positions to `save-place-alist', but uses full file names to find position in `save-place-alist'.
