Re: Emacs and Read-Only Files

User-agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 (Windows/20060909)

One other thing I noticed - when I look at the *Messages*
buffer I get the following messages:

  Note: file is write protected
  Loading semantic-c...done
  byte-code: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer abc.cpp>
  Loading semantic-edit...done
  Loading semanticdb-file...done
  Mark set

However, I commented out the loading of the cedet code (and the
ecb that requires it) and I still get the same issue.

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.
