24.1.50; Regression: `Info-breadcrumbs-depth' should show `File:' without ".info" suffix |
Date: |

emacs -Q
Set option `Info-breadcrumbs-depth' to 0.
Visit an Info node. You will see something like this:
File: elisp.info, Node: Introduction
We should not be displaying the suffix ".info". The "file" name here is
intended to indicate which manual you are in. Showing the ".info"
suffix is a distraction that reflects the implementation, and it wastes
space. This is a (minor) regression.
