APPROVE COMMIT 21.4
Adrian, the patch looks OK, but I couldn't trigger the bug by
highlighting text, switching buffers and calling (region-active-p); it
always returned nil. Of course I noticed that the region was no
longer highlighted when I returned to the original buffer.
The bug manifested in dired buffers when using an active region and
performing
= e runs the command dired-ediff
to ediff two files.
When the regions ends in directoriy entry instead of files, the bug
does not show.
Do you think you can generate a test to demonstrate the fix?
I can't promise to get to this today or tomorrow.
Adrian
In the meantime, I've committed the patch; it will appear in XEmacs
21.4.18, "Constant Variable".
Thanks,
Vin
