Hi Gregory,
Thanks. Good to know. I'll give Vincent Goulet’s Emacs another try. I
compiled myself to get rid of the distnoted problem.
Since I guess there are quite a few emacs/OSX users and I do not see
others reporting anything similar, this is probably somehow a problem on
my side...
Best,
Andreas
