apparently the autoload cookie fix that i suggested to wdired.el wdired--before-change-fn (and recompiling) only gets rid of the match data clobbered error when I have already applied the earlier font-lock-ensure patch. also the recipe is flawed, I apologize. [i didn't (require 'cl-lib) which is required for emacs -Q] But if you are in a dired buffer looking at /tmp/test-foo with 40 entries of symlinks of the form n -> foo/n This is the behaviour I get on emacs -q: 1. C-x C-q 2. M-x rep-reg "foo" "bar" RET ;; get a match data clobbered error (q), C-c C-k to revert dired 3. M-x load-library "dired" RET ;;makes the match-data clobbered error go away 4. C-x C-q 5. M-x rep-reg "foo" "bar" RET I get "Replaced 19 occurrences" and the point ends up on the last entry, the remaining entries have not been replaced. I confirmed this twice before posting
