29.0.60; Emacs 29 changing user option values (?) |

Apologies for an incomplete bug report. Feel free to close if not
helpful.
I downloaded the Windows binary posted today, with dependencies
included, and gave it a naive try using my setup. Naturally I ran into
some problems. But when I went to exit, my `kill-emacs-query-functions'
code that checks for changes to user option values (using function
`customize-unsaved') let me know that something had changed these option
values (I had not changed them):
connection-local-criteria-alist
Its value is
(((:application tramp)
tramp-connection-local-default-system-profile
tramp-connection-local-default-shell-profile))
Original value was nil
connection-local-profile-alist
The value is a long, complex Tramp alist. Original value was nil.
So it looks like Tramp (?) might be messing with user-ooption values,
without resetting their state to tell Customize that they haven't been
changed since last saved. This should be a no-no.
HTH.

`setopt' does not really help. Using `customize-save-variable' instead
of `customize-set-variable' does the trick.
Pushed to the emacs-29 branch, closing the bug. Pls reply if it doesn't
work as expected.
