I can copy-and-paste the entire *Help* buffer for \200 unicode. Then when I try to do the same to \200 eight-bit I experience unexpected behavior. > Fails how? It didn't fail for me. -- A 1. goto *scratch* buffer 2. C-h b 3. goto *Help* buffer -- B 1. search for 'self' in *Help* buffer 2. C-u C-x = ,apply to unicode \200 under SPC 3. C-x h ,highlight all 4. M-w ,copy highlight region 5. C-y ,paste to *scratch* buffer is OK 6. do some random copy-and-paste in *scratch* buffer and elsewhere -- C 1. goto to last *Help* buffer (= C-h b) 2. C-u C-x = ,apply to \200 eight-bit 3. C-x h ,highlight all 4. M-w ,copy highlight region 5. C-y ,paste to *scratch* buffer is FAILS (it seems to be a one-off issue, the penultimate copy-and-paste operation occurs) For me I experience the same fail to copy-and-paste behavior on 26.2 RC1, 26.1.92, 26.1-mac-7.4. -- © 2019 Van L gpg using EEF2 37E9 3840 0D5D 9183 251E 9830 384E 9683 B835 "What's so strange when you know that you're a Wizard at 3?" -Joni Mitchell
