Hi,

In c-mode, when you have a page-break (^L) in column 0, and you hit
TAB (c-indent-command) while having point at column 0, the page-break
gets eaten.  Is this a bug or a feature?

Happy hacking.

I found that ^L is a member of white space characters.  Namely,
`skip-syntax-forward' will treat it as a white space.  This does not
answer whether it is a bug, but it answers why the ^L is eaten.

:-)

On balance, I think it's a bug.

So I'm going to change this so that ^Ls remain unmolested by indentation
commands.

Thanks for the report!

It probably should not have a syntax of whitespace.

Hi, Alfred.

I've just commited a fix to ..../lisp/progmodes/cc-cmds.el.  Could you
update your copy of Emacs and try it out, please.

Thanks! It doesn't eat it, but I think that point should stay at
column 0 and not move.  That is atleast what happens in other modes
(emacs-lisp-mode for example).

Thanks for the quick response!

Formfeed is traditionally considered whitespace.
The mistake is to delete all kinds of whitespace indiscriminately.

To be whitespace means it is syntactically equivalent to a space,
but that doesn't mean it should be deleted arbitrarily.
