Package: emacs21
Version: 21.2-1
Severity: normal
If I press Enter in the top info menu, the results are
unpredictable. If I'm standing on a hyperlink, it goes to that node,
as expected. If I stand somewhere before the first hyperlink, I'm
taken to the first node, which happens to be "Autoconf" here, and that
also seems normal. But if I'm standing for example in the "description
field" of a node, I'm taken to "Fdutils", which is long down the list
and not special in any way that I can tell. On another installation,
I'm taken to "Wget".
Space seems to be equivalent with enter.
This phenomenon has existed in previous versions of Emacs.
Unable to repeat it on
GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.7, X toolkit)
So perhaps it's Debian-specific. On those other systems, Enter goes
to the node of the line I'm currently standing on.

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry that the bugs
were not fully resolved in due time.
emacs21 packages have been removed from testing in 2009 [1], not
present even in the current stable. Consequently, these bugs are now
orphan (without maintainer assigned) so they probably will not be
attended/noticed further.
[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs21.html
The bugs deemed valid are going to be verified and reassigned, but the
current bugs that I'm closing now are very ancient (more than 10 years
sometimes) and marked as unreproducible years ago. Please comment if
you want think that some of the raised questions are still pending and
need to be addressed differently (e.g., reassigned to other packages,
etc.).
Cheers.
