I just installed a new version of Emacs (24.3.1 through Fedora). For some reason, when I use C-s
to search for a single space character, it jumps my cursor to the end of contiguous spaces rather than the beginning. For example, if I'm at the start of this line:
type thread_id = ...
and do C-s SPC
, all the spaces in the buffer are highlighted. But when I advance up to the spaces before the =
, my cursor is immediately positioned on the =
rather than after the first space (ie two positions after the end of thread_id
).
How can I get my cursor to be at the first single character rather than the end of the range?
