bug#44005: 28.0.50; Deleting region doesn't work

[Parham Doustdar]

Hi there,

<DEL> runs `delete-backward-char'.

However, I had a thought. I'm running Emacs with Emacspeak, which advices some functions to act as a screen reader and speak the deleted character. I can't verify that Emacspeak isn't causing this error, although reading the source code of the advice, all i see is a call to `(preceding-char)'.

Is there a way to follow the execution and see what that scrolling function is?

Another thing that I noticed is that when I do `C-x h' my point is in the very beginning of the buffer. Not sure if it has always been the case.

So, when I type `a ' (that is, a and then a space) and press `C-x h', `(point)' returns 1, `(region-beginning)' returns 1, and `(region-end)' returns 3.

I hope this is all useful.

Best,

Parham

I tried it on Macos, and was unable to reproduce the problem.
