Yes, I tested the latest version.

So we could fix `describe-char' first and fix other cases later if necessary. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/ _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
