In fact this is just where the problem is. What I reported is (set-text-properties (point-min) (point-max) nil) does not remove text properties. It should, but it does not. In my messages I mentioned this port of code. I have tracked down to gnus-registry.el (gnus-registry-cache-save, gnus-registry-trim), and from miswritten entry in .gnus.registry.eld, I tracked down to emacs/lisp/composite.el where is the only place entry like ,---- | 0 23 (auto-composed nil) `---- emerge. Please check function toggle-auto-composition in this file. That's why I thought toggle auto composition mode off could solve the problem, but it did not. Hand said auto-composed is a new Emacs 23 feature. I'll build an Emacs 22 to check it again. My experience is Emacs 22 does not have this problem. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
