If I have a buffer with some text that is repeated several times and
do the following:
- C-s <some text> (isearch-forward) to search for the repeated text
- C-x ( (kmacro-start-macro)
- Enter some new text
- C-s C-s to search again
- C-x e (kmacro-end-and-call-macro)
I get different behaviour in my old and new versions of Emacs.
In Emacs 24.2.1 and all previous versions I've used,
kmacro-end-and-call-macro calls the macro once more, and I can go
through the file making changes one at a time, and I can stop when I
want.
In Emacs 24.3.1, kmacro-end-and-call-macro calls the macro repeatedly
making changes to all the repeated text up to the end of the file.
Interestingly, if I define a similar keyboard macro that uses
next-error rather than isearch-forward I get my changes one at a time.
Is this some bizarre new behaviour for isearch-forward? Can I get the
old behaviour back?
Here's a precise recipe:
/Applications/Emacs-24-3-1.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q
Then at the start of the *scratch* buffer:
C-s e r C-x ( x x x x C-s C-s C-x e
Emacs makes multiple changes for the C-x e.
