Hi,
Today I found that I was unable to search for spaces with isearch. It
turns out that 'search-whitespace-regexp' was set to 'nil' rather than
the default '\s-+'.
As I am pretty sure I didn't customise the variable myself, does anyone
know how it might have been changed?
Cheers,
Loris

If it works as before with emacs -Q then the cosmos has shrunk a bit...
to your init which you can proceed to debug that.

It is very common that strange things appear in
configuration and source files. I have been struck by
paranoia so many times believing my systems hacked as
I would "never do that", so now I know it to happen
now and then. Probably you are just too tired doing
things sometimes and later you don't remember why you
did it and even that you did it, but I still think it
was you.
