Package: reportbug
Version: 11.5.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: safinaskar@gmail.com

When reportbug spawns emacs editor, it doesn't put cursor to correct position. The cursor is placed in first line
instead. This happens if I never edited /etc/reportbug.conf . If I uncomment line 'editor "emacs -nw"' in the
config, then cursor will be placed correctly.

This is exact steps to reproduce starting from fresh docker container: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/66b1f071/

You may say: "Just edit reportbug.conf". Well, when I want to report some bug I often create fresh system (for
example, I start fresh docker container), then reproduce the bug in it and then report the bug from this system.
I usually don't edit reportbug.conf every time.

No need to edit the configuration file. You are spawning
sensible-editor, so reportbug does not know it is emacs for you. It
should work with EDITOR=emacs in your environment.

Closing.
