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.

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 C-p in Emacs) to





26

make sure it isn't a known issue.
