emacs
Suppose I have a source file that is 18218 bytes.
I open the file in emacs, then do:
M-x end-of-buffer
M-x what-cursor-position
Why does the cursor position return 17612 bytes?
I think it's because of CRLF translation, or collapsing CRLF into one character.
How can I get emacs to report the accurate, untranslated character position?
