previous-single-char-property-change on string with no match returns string end |
Date: |
Mon, 3 Nov 2008 08:38:00 -0500 |
When searching a string using previous-single-char-property-change, and no
change is found, it returns the maximum valid position in object, instead
of the minimum valid position in object as stated in the emacs lisp manual.
This can be reproduced by the following lisp statement, which returns 10
instead of 0.
