Package: emacs
Version: 1:27.1+1-2
Severity: normal
This is terribly annoying. :-(
emacs -Q # no configuration
M-x man RET # look at a man page
ls RET # something a few pages long
C-x o # go there
M-> # jump to the bottom
C-x o # return to original buffer
Wait about 2 seconds and the man page buffer jumps back to the top of
the man page buffer!? Of course that makes it hard to read the passage
I was wanting to review!
As long as the point stays in the man page buffer then it stays
static. But as soon as I move the point to another buffer then about
two seconds later the man page jumps to the beginning of the buffer.
If I set a mark in the man page buffer with C-@ set-mark-command and
then leave the buffer then after it resets the mark is lost too. I
cannot pop the mark and return to it.
Leaving the buffer includes moving to the minibuffer. In a man page
buffer page down a page or two and then M-x to type into the
minibuffer. After about 2 seconds the man page will reset to the top
of the man page buffer.
Right now my only workaround is to replace man.el with an older version.
Thank you for maintaining Emacs in Debian.
