text-mode-syntax-table in 21.5

Karl Kleinpaste recently reported a problem with Gnus on the ding list, where emphasis (e.g., making *foo* bold) wasn't happening if the text appeared at the end of a line[1]. This was tracked down to a difference in text-mode-syntax-table[2]: The problem is due to the difference of the character syntax of the newline character between XEmacs 21.5 and the others. This form (char-syntax ?\n text-mode-syntax-table) returns `?\.' in XEmacs 21.5 whereas `? ' in XEmacs 21.4 and FSFmacs. Does anyone here know what the scoop is? The problem was reported on 21.5.28, and I can reproduce it on 21.5.29. mike Footnotes: [1] http://mid.gmane.org/vxkfxd4tmqd.fsf＠awol.kleinpaste.org [2] http://mid.gmane.org/b4mab38u7ca.fsf＠jpl.org _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
