(emacs-version) delivers "GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of 2009-09-27 on palmer, modified by Debian" > M-x r e p o r t - e m a c s - b u g RET 3. I have done that (bug#7687) - I read the chapter 'sending patches' :-) (emacs)Top:: > *Note Bugs:: > Sending Patches 60.4 Sending Patches for GNU Emacs ================================== If you would like to write bug fixes or improvements for GNU Emacs, that is very helpful. When you send your changes, please follow these guidelines to make it easy for the maintainers to use them. If you don't follow these guidelines, your information might still be useful, but using it will take extra work. Maintaining GNU Emacs is a lot of work in the best of circumstances, and we can't keep up unless you do your best to help. * Send an explanation with your changes of what problem they fix or what improvement they bring about. For a bug fix, just include a copy of the bug report, and explain why the change fixes the bug. (Referring to a bug report is not as good as including it, because then we will have to look it up, and we have probably already deleted it if we've already fixed the bug.) ...
