Package: emacs25 Version: 25.2+1-6 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Under some conditions, when saving a file with a BOM, the BOM *silently* gets removed, which is a major change (some applications, such as Firefox, are BOM-sensitive, so that this bug breaks things without knowing the cause). To reproduce the bug: 0. Uncompress the attached file (I used compression to make sure that it doesn't get corrupted by the mail system): unxz a.html.xz 1. cp a.html b.html 2. emacs -Q b.html 3. Type M-: (set-buffer-modified-p t) to mark the buffer as modified (so that one can save it). 4. Save the file with C-x C-s. 5. Quit with C-x C-c. 6. cmp a.html b.html This gives: a.html b.html differ: char 1, line 1 $ hd a.html | head -n 1 00000000 ef bb bf 3c 21 44 4f 43 54 59 50 45 20 68 74 6d |...<!DOCTYPE htm| $ hd b.html | head -n 1 00000000 3c 21 44 4f 43 54 59 50 45 20 68 74 6d 6c 20 50 |<!DOCTYPE html P| Note: There is a newer Emacs version upstream.
