no it did not start at beginning of buffer but was rather
located at its end. I will open a new issue
(a bit later)
after having looked if something in my .emacs setup causes conflict.

may it have something to do with keyboard input? wait.. I usually
type ^ then SPACE then another char ... no typing x^y directly
without hitting the space bar does not change anything
(the ^ is waiting to see if it will be ê, or ô etc...)

all works fine, but this electric thing.

Best,
