But we need to know what modes these buffers with changing point are in, and it would be best if you can provide us with a recipe like xemacs -nw C-x C-f new-file ; insert text and move ; alternatively, find a file it happens on that you can send us or put ; up on the Web for retrieval C-x 5 C-f some-other-file C-x 5 o C-x 5 0 C-x 5 b new-file ; point is wrong Also, if it's consistently in one of the big externally maintained packages like JDE or cc-mode, you should file bug reports with the maintainers. It seems possible to me that one of this packages is doing something "intelligent" outside of a save-excursion or the like; there's nothing we can do about that kind of thing except ask the maintainers to fix. It's especially plausible with JDE because (a) it's very intelligent and (b) I don't use it which is consistent with me not having observed the bug. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
