Hello, LuaTeX's \scantokens behave differently than eTeX's, as mentionned in [issue 733 in the bug tracker](http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=733). The issue 733 does not explicitly say what goes wrong, so I though I'd provide a shorter example of the problem: pdftex '\newlinechar10 \scantokens{\show^^JX}Y' shows "the letter X", while using luatex I get "the letter Y". What happens is that LuaTeX's \scantokens only reads the first line of the pseudo file written by \scantokens. Regards, Bruno PS: I tried directly commenting on issue 733 but couldn't find how, please let me know if this mailing list is not the correct place.

Hm, perhaps because the item is marked as fixed, so it's not possible to add notes anymore.

Sorry about that. I now see that it was marked as fixed indeed. Do you know how long I should expect until the fixed version of LuaTeX gets into TeXLive? The bug is still present in LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238), with libpng 1.6.17; zlib 1.2.8; poppler version 0.32.0; mplib version 1.999. Regards, Bruno
