Hi,
I don't like the "end of buffer" errors, so I have switched
next-line-add-newlines to t. In recent Emacs versions, though, this makes it
impossible to browse the minibuffer history with cursor arrows: <down> adds a
newline into the minibufer instead of showing the next history element. M-n
works correctly, though.
Steps to reproduce (tested in 25.3.1):
emacs -Q
(setq next-line-add-newlines t) C-x C-e
C-x C-f <down>
Solution:
Set the variable to nil locally in next-line-or-history-element.
Patch:
diff -u <(zcat /usr/local/share/emacs/25.3/lisp/simple.el.gz) ~/simple.el
