>From my previous message:
Do:
emacs -q --eval \
"(progn (blink-cursor-mode 0) (setq enable-local-variables 'ask))" &
I do not believe that the `(blink-cursor-mode 0)' has anything to do
with the problem, but it is impossible for me to test without that,
since a blinking cursor causes neurological problems for me.
C-h
Now wait long enough for echoing to occur.
Then type `n'.
I believe that I now should see the message:
Set local variables as specified at end of NEWS? (y or n)
Actually, no. I believe that the local variables should in this case
be obeyed automatically, because that is what happens if I do `C-h n'
quickly enough to avoid echoing.
Instead I see:
Local variables:
mode: outline
paragraph-separate: "[ ]*$"
end:
arch-tag: 1aca9dfa-2ac4-4d14-bebf-0007cee12793
just like if Emacs were waiting for my answer to the question:
Set local variables as specified at end of NEWS? (y or n)
which I am however not seeing.
But when I type `y', I see the News with all file variables enabled.
I still believe that this confusing behavior is a bug.
Sincerely,
Luc.
