Would this affect my own custom (custom-set-variables) (custom-set-faces ;; '(font-lock-comment-face ((t (:foreground "#000000")))) '(font-lock-keyword-face ((t (:foreground "#FFDD00")))) ; yellow '(font-lock-type-face ((t (:foreground "#FFDD00")))) ) ; yellow > If you have that then your list will be retained.

Yes it gives you hell in its demand to delete or abort, rather than ignoring the file. That's why I called the problem a bug. If you don't find the file, ignore it. > Best, > Tom >
