[bpt/emacs.git] / BUGS
1 If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
2 read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
3 (1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
4 (2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
5 it needs to have.
6
7 There are three ways to read the Bugs section.
8
9 (1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
10 You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
11 see the file etc/ORDERS. But if you don't have a copy on
12 hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
13 to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
14 as described below.
15
16 (2) With Info. Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
17 then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
18 to get to the section on bugs. Or use standalone Info in
19 a like manner. (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
20 not part of the Emacs distribution.)
21
22 (3) By hand. Do
23 cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs, Node: Bugs,"
24
25 Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h P in Emacs) to
26 make sure it isn't a known issue.
