Sorry, I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at. The page contains a
lot of text (some of it looking Emacs-y), as well as lots of unreadable
control characters.
Again, have you tried reproducing the problem starting with 'emacs -Q'?
And what typescript are you referring to here? I only know of a programming
language with that name, one that compiles to JavaScript.
The last word I keyed in on the description area
just after subject: was again. If report-emacs-bug did capture it, the
way the display was showing things it gave me the impression only one
line had been captured with no lines beyond the first. The subject:
line was on the last line of my emacs display area too. None of this
may be a bug, and just appear like a bug due to display placement of
elements of the report.
I don't understand this paragraph.
I will be interested to find out if that's the
case and would also like to know what the maximum number of lines is for
that bug description area too.
There's no maximum number of lines. After you type in the subject, Emacs
opens a Message buffer, where you can type as long a report as you like.
