Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org
mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Dired mode binds ~ to dired-flag-backup-files. When one attempts
entering
~ via the dead-key combination Alt-n (assuming the Alt key is not
used as
a modifier key and Command is interpreted as Meta key), Emacs first
reports
an error message "Buffer is read-only: #<buffer ~>" followed by an error
message "Wrong type argument: overlayp, nil" upon the next event.
In an attempt to fix this issue with some other Emacs version, I have
added
the lines
(define-key function-key-map [dead-tilde] "~")
(put 'dead-tilde 'ascii-character ?~)
to .emacs, but these do not help (nor does removing them from .emacs).
Note that with a German keyboard layout, Alt-n is the only way to
enter a
tilde character. The ASCII tilde is not bound to any key. (Actually, one
could enter ASCII tilde via key combinations Ctrl-Alt-n and Command-
Alt-n,
respectively, but obviously this does not work for Emacs.)
In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, NS apple-
appkit-824.48)
of 2008-11-21 on Onyx.local
Windowing system distributor `Apple', version
97.112.112.108.101.45.97.112.112.107.105.116.45.56.50.52.46.52.56
configured using `configure '--with-ns''
