I am using Gnu version 18.55.2 on berkeley-unix. The same problem occurs in 18.54.2 on berkeley-unix. I have the following text in text mode. Positioning the mark at the beginning of the first line and typing M-e moves the mark to the end of the last line. It should stop at the end of the first line. elisha. Each state is an $n$-dimensional rectangular region in state space. They propagate sign information through the differential equations to determine the causal relations between variables within each state and the possible transitions between states.

It is interesting to note that what is causing the problem is an extra
\040 character at the end of the first line. I don't have a fix for the
bug, but then again I would never run into the problem, because I use
auto-fill all of the time which deletes any trailing blanks at the end
of the line.

The problem is that the sentence-end regexp doesn't allow white space at the end of a line. The following definition fixes this. < Stephen (defconst sentence-end (purecopy "[.?!][]\"')}]*\\([ \t]*$\\|\t\\| \\)[ \t\n]*") "\ *Regexp describing the end of a sentence. All paragraph boundaries also end sentences, regardless.")
