address@hidden: C-a acts different in 22.0.90 then past versions]

[Richard Stallman]

This spurious recenter bug sounds serious.  This report doesn't
exactly give clear instructions, so I asked Warren to try to send a
clearer one.  But can anyone reproduce the problem from this report?

*****************************************************************************
I just got and built emacs-22.0.90 on linux and solaris 8 with success. Added
in the few .el files I use and everything is working pretty good.
The 22.0.50 problems, I had seen, seem to be fixed.

Can someone point me to the .el file repository. I can't seem to find the
latest versions of the ones I am using from about 8 years ago. I used to use
the LCD-datafiles but all that seems to be quite old.

I have noticed one new behavior the is disturbing. If I search for something
then type C-a to goto the begining of the line it will center the point to
the middle of the screen. I tried to duplicate it and just searching and C-a
does not do it. If you kill a line of text and put it back, then search for
something that puts the point not in the middle of the screen but near the
bottom then doing c-a it will center the point.

I don't see anything in the NEWS about this behavior. 

Below in the keystrokes the ones leading up to <escape> < C-k C-k 
did not recenter the screen. The <escape> < C-k C-k  and following keystrokes
did. The last search ended up just a couple lines from the bottom of the
window. 

I have a full screen size window of 1280x1024 when doing this using dtwm. The
font allows 71 lines in the emacs buffer to be displayed.
