| 1 | If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please read the |
| 2 | Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on |
| 3 | |
| 4 | (1) how to tell when to report a bug, and |
| 5 | (2) how to write a useful bug report and what information it needs to have. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | You can read the Bugs section of the manual from inside Emacs. |
| 8 | Start Emacs, and press |
| 9 | C-h r (to view the Emacs manual) |
| 10 | m Bugs RET (to go to the section on Bugs) |
| 11 | Or you can use the standalone Info program: |
| 12 | info emacs |
| 13 | m Bugs RET |
| 14 | (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution, not part of the |
| 15 | Emacs distribution.) |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Printed copies of the Emacs manual can be purchased from the Free |
| 18 | Software Foundation's online store at <http://shop.fsf.org/>. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | If necessary, you can read the manual without an info program: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs.*, Node: Bugs," |
| 23 | |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to |
| 26 | make sure it isn't a known issue. |
