- Todd> Never seen this.
-
- I'm seeing the same behavior as the previous poster. I'm using the "out of
- the box" lemacs version 19.2 on a Sun 4/370, OS 4.1.1 and X11R5 (vtwm)

- Todd> Are you loading some customized version of C-n? What does C-h c C-n

-
- Nope. It says "C-n runs the command next-line"
-
- Todd> Does it happen when you start with no .emacs ("lemacs -q") ?
-
- Yes.
-
- Todd> Have you been hitting set-goal-column (C-x C-n)? If so, use C-u C-x C-n

-
- Still does it.
-
- If anyone can find the fix, I'd appreciate it.
