Unfortunately it seems most bugs are just fixed in trunk (which could mean wait another year for the fix) even if reported against a pretest build. Is there an implicitly agreed practice here? Anyway, I think I am discouraged to report bugs and inclined to just code a workaround in my .emacs. Long ago I used to report bugs in the org mode that was bundled with emacs but then the project's practice was to only fix in the development trunk. So I save myself some time stop reporting bugs there. Leo
