This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-nt4.0.1381)
of 2001-10-22 on buffy
configured using `configure --with-msvc (12.00)'
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
value of $LC_TIME: nil
value of $LANG: ENU
locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1
default-enable-multibyte-characters: nil
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Set comment-padding to nil.
Do comment-region (e.g., in an elisp buffer). This produces an error:
comment-region: Wrong type argument: arrayp, nil
The problem is an attempt to take a substring of nil.
nil is a valid value for comment-padding, according to the docstring
for the variable. It worked in 20.7, but the comment code has been
rewritten since then.
