Package: emacs20
Version: 20.7-8
Severity: normal
Help for skip-chars-forward looks like this:
skip-chars-forward is a built-in function.
Move point forward, stopping before a char not in STRING, or at pos LIM.
STRING is like the inside of a `[...]' in a regular expression
except that `]' is never special and `\' quotes `^', `-' or `\'
(but not as the end of a range; quoting is never needed there).
Thus, with arg "a-zA-Z", this skips letters stopping before first nonletter.
With arg "^a-zA-Z", skips nonletters stopping before first letter.
Returns the distance traveled, either zero or positive.
(skip-chars-forward STRING &optional LIM)
But I get different behavior from
(skip-chars-forward "a-zA-Z0-9_\\-")
than I get from
(skip-chars-forward "a-zA-Z0-9_-")

Hello,
All of these bugs are assigned to emacs21 which has been removed from
current versions of Debian several years ago, and thus the bugs are
orphan and nobody is paying attention to them anymore. I'm just doing
some cleanup with the intent to reassign valids bug later to current
Emacs packages, but I am not involved in the maintenance of the Emacs
package.
I am closing all of these bugs who are marked as unreproducible or
fixed-upstream or similar, sometimes for many many years and without
any input since then; and also others that don't seem relevant anymore
(e.g. failing to install). I'm trying to verify that they're indeed
properly tagged and addressed when possible.
If you feel that some issue related or included in the bug report is
not properly addressed, please reopen, reassign or report a new bug
against Emacs packages currently present in the archives.
Cheers.
