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!
I have Info Auto Generate Directory set as:
Info Auto Generate Directory: * [Value Menu] always
But it doesn't work! If I have an empty file /usr/share/info/dir,
then none of the contents of /usr/share/info are listed when I do C-h
i. If I remove the empty file, then it works. Clearly, xemacs is not
ignoring the dir file regardless of the setting of Info Auto
Generate Directory.
