--text follows this line-- ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! System: XEmacs 21.4.13 Rational FORTRAN on Windows 95 Conditions: Assume variables backup-by-copying and version-control are both the standard value nil. According to the manual expected behavior of backup-by-renaming is that XEmacs should rename the original file so that it becomes a backup file, and then write the buffer being saved into a new file. As I understand it if I am editing a file, say <test.txt>, by executing save-buffer on the first draft I should get a file on disk called <test.txt>. If I kill the buffer, revisit the file <test.txt>, edit, and save-buffer I expect to have two files on disk; one named <test.txt~> and the other <test.txt> which contain the first and second drafts respectively. Furthermore, it I think it is reasonable to expect that the contents of the file <test.txt> be identical to the contents of my buffer which is also called <test.txt>. What actually occurs after the second save is that there is only one file on disk named <test.txt~> which contains the second draft and contents of the current buffer which is named <test.txt>. To be clear, there is no file <test.txt> on disk although my buffer is still named <test.txt> and saving the buffer shows a message in the echo area tells me it is saving the file to <test.txt>. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- OS version: Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] OS: Windows_NT XEmacs 21.4.13 "Rational FORTRAN" configured for `i586-pc-win32'.
