I have GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 and GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 compiled for
Windows. Both versions behave strangely when loading files
that are Read-Only.
In both cases the file gets loaded, I get a message saying
'Mark Set' but the window doesn't switch to the newly loaded
file. This doesn't happen when I load a file with write permission.
Unfortunately (or fortunately), when I start up emacs with
--no-init this behavior doesn't occur.
I have a rather extensive .emacs file and would *really* hate to
go through the cycle of commenting out blocks and re-starting
necessary to track this down.
So, does anyone have any ideas what could be happening? Obviously,
something I have loaded is interfering with the loading of these
read-only files, but I don't have a clue what it could be.
