I have been using Emacs since 1987, but I do not know if I
qualify to be a veteran by that criteria. Until I read this thread, I
had noticed that large chunks of my buffers disappeared on me, but had
not yet narrowed down what was causing this. I had even resorted to
using vim instead.
Shouldn't changes in default behaviour come with obvious
instructions on how to revert things, like in the NEWS file?
