Is ability to set local variables for files broken in the beta?
I don't use it a lot, but I use it sometimes. I just did it on a
text file that I use frequently and got a backtrace. So I
tried it again on a LaTeX file I rarely visit, and got another
one.
Here's what I have at the end of the LaTeX file:
% Local Variables:
% mode: latex
% TeX-master: t
% End:
Did you try this with
%%% Local Variables:
As well?
This is unchanged for years, and is standard boilerplate I put at
the
end of most every LaTeX file. Here's what I get in another buffer when
I visit it.
The message is similar when I visit an ordinary text file with local variables
set, i.e., the complaint is about a missing prefix:
(5) (local-variables/warning) Error in File local-variables: Local
variables entry is missing the prefix
I have seen similar messages, however not
always and that is why I did
not send a bug report. (Maybe this is connected to the x-symbol-8bit
variable behaviour I mentioned earlier)
I check this with 21.4.
