That is not a good way to diagnose whether the problem is due to a local customization or not. Try invoking Emacs as emacs -q --no-site-file If the problem goes away, it was due to a local customization (site-start.el, ~/.emacs, or default.el). Then try invoking Emacs as emacs -q If the problem returns, it is due to site-start.el; if there is still no problem, it was due to either ~/.emacs or default.el. You can find the site-start.el and default.el files with `M-x locate-library' (leave off the .el extension when responding to the "Locate library: " prompt). -- Kevin
