Emacs kill problem

Emacs kill problem

[Csaba]

This seems like a bug - but I imagine
that it's been dealt with since my version,
21.3.1 from 2004-03-10 on Win XP Pro -
not sure how to search for it.

If I have the following line:
Marko Petkovšek
then emacs is very unhappy if I try
to kill the line (ctrl+k) or wipe it out
(ctrl+w).  Emacs will do it, but complain
(ring the bell) and it will not place the
removed entry into the yank buffer
(ie. doing ctrl+y will not recover it),
though I can undo the operation with
ctrl+x,u

In my emacs, that š appears as \232
(In other words I see "\232" (without
the quotes) and that is corresponds
to š)

Would someone please let me know
whether this has been fixed or if a but
report should be filed.

Thanks,
Csaba Gabor from Vienna

There are too many possible variables for someone else to be able to
tell you that your problem is fixed. The only way is to try an up to
date Emacs yourself.

The latest version (22.3) can be downloaded from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/
and the current beta from http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/

I'm using NTemacs, and man IS IT NICE!

Full screen, everything works, is just like I'm on my sunblade-100
running "emacs".

I tried cygwin's emacs -- no way: narrow screen, problems here,
problems there.

"NTemacs" is, for me, anyway, VASTLY better (on windows, that is)


Comments?

I am sure it has been fixed. Please try the pretest for Emacs 23.
Binaries are available here if you do not want to compile it yourself:
