emacs -Q
In buffer *scratch*, type this: SPC SPC ` a b c d e f ' RET
That inserts this line, followed by a newline:
`abcdef'
Select the line, including the newline at its end: `M-< C-SPC C-n'.
M-x comment-region
In Emacs 23, this is the result:
;; `abcdef'
In all previous versions of Emacs, the comment chars are inserted at
the start of the line - they are not indented two spaces:
;; `abcdef'
This is so for Emacs 20, 21, and 22. (Though in Emacs 20 only one
semicolon is used.)
This breaks any code that depends on the traditional behavior. For
instance, I have code that updates file-header lines, and now, instead
of this:
;; Features that might be required by this library:
;;
;; `abcdef', `ghijk', `lmnop'.
;;
I get this;
;; Features that might be required by this library:
;;
;; `abcdef', `ghijk', `lmnop'.
;;
I need this code to work in all Emacs versions. I certainly hope you
do not consider this change to be a feature instead of a bug.
In GNU Emacs 23.0.94.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2009-05-24 on SOFT-MJASON
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
