- Lucid fans,
- My down-arrow (up-arrow) doesn't behave like CTRL-N (CTRL-P) but as
- if goal-column is reset on every move to the current position. Example:
-
- Line 1: 1234567890
- Line 2: 12345
- Line 3: 1234567890ABCDEFGHIJK
-
- If I'm at the end of line 1 (after the '0'), and I hit the down-arrow, it's
- positioned at the end line 2 (after the '5'). That's OK. Down-arrow again
- and it keeps the same column, that is, it's positioned on the '6' in line 3.
- Using CTRL-N, it's positioned on the 'A' which is the correct behavior. An
- identical mis-behavior is seen with up-arrow.
-
- When I hit help-k-down-arrow (describe-key down-arrow), it says:
-
- "":
- Keyboard macro.
-
- I do not reprogram the up/down arrows. Same behavior happens if I start lemacs
- with -q, so none of my .emacs can be blamed here.
-
- Anybody has an idea why it's happening?
-
- Config: Lucid 19.2, built with gcc 2.2.2
- Sun SS1+ w/GX
- SunOS 4.1.2
- X11R5, patch 17.
