Short version: * upstream bug existed, now fixed in git but not released * in the meantime use version from git * bug should propagate to Ubuntu package eventually
Long version: I now use version from today's git and confirm it fixes the bug. >From upstream author Jason Blevins: > Thank you very much for letting me know about the report. Indeed, this is a > known issue with markdown-mode 1.8.1. It was fixed in the development > version, which is available here: > > http://jblevins.org/git/markdown-mode.git > Emacs has never crashed on me > as a result of this, but there were many unusual search and replace > issues that were fixed by the following patch: > > http://jblevins.org/git/markdown-mode.git/commit/?id=eacccad35ac424916c2f44dac178c7d91894f17b > I always notify the Debian emacs-goodies-el maintainer when I do so [release > a stable version], in which case I believe it should make its way into Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to emacs-goodies-el in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097845 Title: In markdown-mode, some emacs features misbehave, sometimes emacs crashes. Status in “emacs-goodies-el” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: # Context Using emacs in markdown-mode. # Affected features * search-and-replace misses some occurrences * sometimes downcase-word and capitalize-word operate on a wrong region (correct size but off by several characters) * sometimes dabbrev-expand is affected, too, in a similar way * query-replace sometimes causes emacs to crash # How to reproduce * Install Ubuntu 12.10 (or 12.04). * sudo apt-get install emacs emacs-goodies-el * Launch emacs (e.g. Alt-F2, type emacs, press Enter). * In scratch buffer, type some multi-line text. For example : C-U 32 A, Enter, Up, C-K, C-K, then press C-Y 8 times. * Buffer contains this : ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation. ;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f, ;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA * Go to top of buffer. * Run query-replace (e.g. Esc-%), type a, press Enter, type b, press Enter, press "!" * See all A turned into B as expected ;; This buffer is for notes you don't wbnt to sbve, bnd for Lisp evblubtion. ;; If you wbnt to crebte b file, visit thbt file with C-x C-f, ;; then enter the text in thbt file's own buffer.

Oh, testing it again just crashed my emacs now! I let apport report it but it does not provide me a reference to the crash. ## Additional information * Could not find an easy reproducible case for downcase-word and capitalize-word or for emacs crashes. Since a crash occurs, actual problem may lies in emacs instead of emacs-goodies-el ? * Tested from a newly created user account to isolate from any custom emacs init files. * Same problem happens on 12.04 and 12.10. * On 12.04 same problem happens with stock emacs from distribution (emacs23) and with emacs24. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center $ LC_ALL=C apt-cache policy emacs-goodies-el emacs-goodies-el: Installed: 35.2ubuntu2 Candidate: 35.2ubuntu2 Version table: *** 35.2ubuntu2 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen 4) What happened instead See long explanation above.
