XEmacs 21.5 (beta24) "dandelion" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux, Mule) of Thu Dec 29 2005 on vilya Fixes a bug in completion buffers that prevented me from using the keyboard to move between completions. Almost everything ended up putting point at the end of the last completion (and at point-max) It seems that something rather fundamental has changed. Completion mode is derived from list-mode. list-mode uses properties to track/locate list items (it seems, I don't fully understand the code.) The next and previous functions worked by moving point until the properties changed. The properties put on the items were not text properties but the functions used to move over properties were ones that only worked with text properties. I changed the functions called to ones that work with non-text properties. As a point of information for me: this is dumped lisp code for a beta version. Should this be posted here or to xemacs-beta? regards, -- / Default, n.: davep (|) The hardware's, of course. / $ --- list-mode.el.ORIG 2005-12-29 17:02:58.000000000 -0500 +++ list-mode.el 2005-12-29 17:06:04.000000000 -0500 ＠＠ -174,8 +174,8 ＠＠ (if extent (goto-char (extent-end-position extent))) ;; Move to start of next one.

Panariti <davep.xemacs(a)meduseld.net&gt; * list-mode.el (next-list-mode-item): Changed calls to {next|previous}-single-property-change to {next|previous}-single-char-property-change. The previous and next list item commands were not working: they always sent you to the end of the buffer since the properties on the list items were not text properties, and {next|previous}-single-property-change only look for changes in text properties.
