Subject: Bug#496944: gettext-el: po-previous-translated-entry goes into an
    infinite loop

Package: gettext-el
Version: 0.17-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Hi,

po-previous-translated-entry (keybind: 'T') goes into an infinite loop
(unless the current previous entry is not a 'translated' one).  It is
because the function searches for a previous *untranslated* entry with a
regular expression and checks whether the entry is a translated one or
not.  Here I attach a patch to fix that bug.  Could you please apply
this patch?

A changelog entry describing the details is as follows:

2008-08-28  Noritada Kobayashi  <address@hidden>

        * po-mode.el: Fix po-previous-translated-entry going into an
        infinite loop.
        (po-previous-translated-entry): Search for a previous entry of
        every type in the while loop.  Previously, this function
        searched only for an untranslated entry and checked whether it
        is translated or not.

P.S. I'm happy if my previous three patches[1] are also checked when you
have time. ;-)
