After pasting the following paragraph to a buffer -------------------------------------------------------- Maximilian Karl Emil "Max" Weber was a German sociologist, philosopher, and political economist whose ideas influenced social theory, social research, and the entire discipline of sociology. Weber is often cited, with Émile Durkheim and Karl Marx, as among the three founding architects of sociology. -------------------------------------------------------- I place the cursor to the beginning of the paragraph, i.e. just before "Maximilian". Then pressing M-e brings the cursor to the end of the paragraph. But the intended behaviour is to bring the cursor to the end of the first sentence, i.e. after the first "sociology", right before "Weber", isn't it? Is this a bug I should report? I tried this after starting up emacs by $ emacs -Q Emacs version 24.3.1 on Arch Linux. Regards (also posted on the Arch Linux forums: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=170403 ) -- Frederik
