bug#20440: reproducible recipe

[Sho Takemori]

> Is this a real buffer corruption, or just the display corruption?

It is a real buffer corruption. I made the second gist by C-x h, M-w and pasting it to the browser.

If I change the size of the frame or the window configuration, I still have a corrupted buffer.

> Also, how do you invoke Emacs to reproduce the problem?

By evaluating the code in the first gist.

I use emacs-jedi (https://github.com/tkf/emacs-jedi). So does the original reporter.

Since the problem occurs frequently, I can find strings file-content1 and file-content2 in the first gist.

As for the function my/add-to-after-change-functions, I looked into the source of emacs-jedi and wrote a similar code.

> Finally, does the problem go away if you set your locale to something

> else, like en_US.UTF-8?

No. I can also reproduce it in the live session of Xubuntu 14.04, where LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

Here is the output of M-x report-emacs-bug in Emacs 24.3 in the live session.

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list

and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that

the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up

to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers

usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and

the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe

starting from `emacs -Q':

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,

please include the output from the following gdb commands:

    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
