To whomever might help:

 

I actually don’t believe this i= s an Emacs bug – so I hesitate to bother you with this.  Still, I am desperate enough to get just one small clue about what happened to my emacs= that I am trying this approach.

 

My name is Brian Parker.  I am a hardware (ASIC, FP= GA) engineer for Harman International.

 

I realize you have no obligation to help me with anythin= g (since I really doubt this is a bug= ) and if I get no response I will also understand.  It certainly won’t leave me any worse off than I am right now.

 

I have used Emacs for at least 15 years – primaril= y for Verilog-based designs.  Still, I do not know LISP nor am I really = an expert on Emacs – but I like it when it is set up right (for me).

 

Recently, (until Monday Nov 2), I was using Emacs 22 on = a Ubuntu (9.4) Linux system.  It was working wonderfully.

 

I made the mistake of upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10.  Th= is upgrade wiped out my Emacs (not my .emacs file).  I had to reinstall E= macs – version 22 again as far as I can tell.

 

Now it does not work correctly at all.  I will desc= ribe 4 of the most noticeable and annoying behaviors on the new install.  I= f you might have any clue as to what my problem is and are willing to just po= int me in the right direction, I will try to follow through and figure this out= .

 

1 – The “Revert-buffer” option on the “File” menu no longer works.  It is grayed out.  M-x revert-buffer still works but the menu item does not.  Formerly this h= as always worked and I rely on it a lot.

 

2 – The “Buffers” menu no longer shows= all the buffers I have open.  It drops down but only shows that I have the= *GNU Emacs* buffer, the *scratch* buffer, and the *Messages* buffer.  None of my ot= her buffers are listed anymore.  This has always worked before.=

 

3 – When I scroll using the scroll bar (and mouse cursor of course) I must keep the cursor exactly on the scroll bar (i.e. no wandering outside of the Emacs window frame) or else the position of the te= xt goes right back to where I started when I let the mouse button up.   This is very annoying – and did not function this way pri= or to my “upgrade”.

 

4 – When scrolling using the scroll bar, text is selected and highlighted.  I know that I can select text with the mous= e cursor but I don’t want to select when just scrolling with the scroll bar.  This is also new behavior.

 

I have searched the manuals, tutorials, on-line tips, an= d will continue to do so.  However, I figured anyone = there obviously already knows MUCH more about the guts of this editor than I do.

 

Thanks for your time,

Brian
