It may Katsumi> not be a bug because there is a way to avoid the problem. Katsumi> For example, I can achieve it using the function Katsumi> definition as such as follows: Are you using the latest ediff package? I recall a recent fix regarding ediff-file-remote-p. Best regards, Adrian Katsumi> (defun ediff-file-remote-p (file-name) Katsumi> (let ((handler (find-file-name-handler file-name 'file-local-copy))) Katsumi> (and handler (not (eq handler 'dired-handler-fn))))) Katsumi> However, I could not find out any descriptions about it in manuals Katsumi> except for a comment in ediff-init.el.
