The High Sierra Mac is a bit slower, which might be helpful. I started a new experiment – in GNU Emacs 28.0.50. Before I had the pre-occupation that GNU Emacs 27.1.91 was the culprit, so I opened a file in GNU Emacs 28.0.50, changed it, and left its contents unsaved when I tried to quit with Ctrl-X Ctrl-C. GNU Emacs 28.0.50 was forced to ask me whether I wanted to have the changed file saved. Of course, so I typed "y". The result was that "something" wrote into GNU Emacs 27.1.91 a lot of "y". I pressed RET and wanted to quit – but GNU Emacs 27.1.91 only received Ctrl-C…

Well, I have to alter my pre-occupation: GNU Emacs 28.0.50 seems to be the culprit. This is some experimental version  checked out from GitHub. It seems to have – or have had – a bug…
