bug#7047: 23.1; Repeating emacs macro skipping every second line

[Gord Wait <gordwait@lighthauslogic.com>]

I don't know how to add comments to a reported bug.. so I'll try this..

I also tried using "forward-line" and got similar results.

It seems to be dependent on how many repeats I select. If I auto repeat say 10 lines worth,
It seems to be ok. If I auto repeat the macro 1000 times, then it starts to skip every line at some point..

Subject: 23.1; Repeating emacs macro skipping every second line

I created a keyboard macro to move a word from the end of the line to the start of the line. At the end of it I include the commands - "move-beggining-of-line" followed by "next-line" so that I can repeat it through my file.
If I run it interactively "by hand" it works great. If I call it with a numerical repeat value to make it run say 20 times, it skips every second line.

This basically makes keyboard macros useless to me for the first time in over 25 years of using emacs.. I will try "forward-line" to see if it behaves the same way..
