26.1.92; skip-chars-backward

[Andreas Röhler]

Hi,

have the following code in buffer starting and ending with a pipe-char:

-------

|
     ;;;     Wri |

-------

When running the command below, expect it stops at pos 2, after pipe.

Instead it travels from "Wri" only the two lesser chars backward.

Any explanation?

Thanks,

Andreas
