--text follows this line-- This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! XEmacs 21.4.8 or earlier: when you edit Local Variables at the end of a file, save and revert; the Local Variables are updated to the most recent edit. I suppose this is a bit crude, but I don't know of a better way to make this happen. But, in 21.4.9/10, the functionality is different. I checked the release notes and it says: "Improve: revert-buffer omits expensive operations if no change. -- Andy Piper" So, I'm assuming that updating Local Variables is one of these expensive operations and since I saved the file there are no changes. However, if I don't save after I make the changes, then the revert will destroy them. I tried both (revert-buffer t t) and (revert-buffer nil t), but the result is the same. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: SunOS markov 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60 configure '--with-file-coding' '--prefix=/sfw/usr/local' XEmacs 21.4.10 "Military Intelligence" configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.8'.
