I don't know if this is a bug, but it's disappointing and inconvenient.
Start emacs with -Q, and type into the *scratch* buffer these 10 characters:
I ate this
Now do C-a to move point to the beginning of the line.
Now replace the symbol "i" with "u":
M-s _ i M-% u RET !
So far, so good: we are looking at
U at this
which is correct.
Now try to repeat the replacement:
C-a M-% RET !
This changes the "i" in "this" to a u, even though that "i" isn't an
independent symbol. I was hoping that it would do nothing.
