I'm running Mac OS X and picked up a pre-built Emacs from Mindlube, not anofficial released version.When I run emacs with "emacs --nw" from a Terminal window, yank-pop works just like I expect it to. But when I invoke the Emacs application from the finder (like other OS X applications) things are screwy. The first yank-pop of a sequence seems to yank the top of the kill ring (i.e., the same text yanked by the immediately preceding C-y) rather than the previous entry.So, for example, C-k C-y M-y is always a no-op, whereas I expect it to replace the rest of the line with the previous kill.I don't know quite where to ask about this since the provenance of my Emacsis so informal. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, When doing C-k C-y M-y, hit M-y again and you should see the normal behavior. For some reason the first M-y has no effect, or contains the first entry in the kill ring, as you say. However, subsequent M-y work as expected. At least that's what I'm seeing. I'm filing bug report about the empty yank item. You can do this too if you find anything else (M-x report-emacs-bug).
Also make sure to notice the Menu item Edit | Select and Paste. It shows the current contents of your kill ring. So you can tell the kill ring is at least doing it's job.
