In XEmacs 21.2 (beta35) "Nike" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, Mule) of Fri Sep 22 2000
on swoon.home
configured using `configure --prefix=/home/swoon --with-mule --with-pop'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I think sometime between 21.2-b31 and 21.2-b35 the behavior of
yank-pop changed: my 21.2-b31 is built without MULE support and
exhibits the "old" behavior; my 21.2-b35 (built after a CVS update
around 10am EDT today) is built with MULE and exhibits this "new"
behavior.
The behavior I see is that after pressing C-y (yank) I need to press
M-y (yank-pop) several times to get the previous entry in the kill
ring.
In the "Recent keystrokes" section below, I had to type M-y twice to
get the previous entry. If I do two yanks (C-y C-y), then I need to
press M-y three times to get the previous entry.
From looking at the variable kill-ring, what is happening is that
issuing a yank is putting the yanked text on the kill ring again. I
don't know if this is intentional or a bug; I do not see any mention
of it in the NEWS file, in the XEmacs-beta archives, or in the XEmacs
bug database. This behavior seems wrong, but if it is a design
decision, please clearly document it for all us old-timers (or better
yet, give us a variable to return to the old behavior).
Thanks,
-Mark
