Unify mouse highlight code of MSDOS and GUI sessions. xdisp.c (coords_in_mouse_face_p): Move prototype out of the HAVE_WINDOW_SYSTEM conditional. (x_y_to_hpos_vpos, frame_to_window_pixel_xy): Move out of the HAVE_WINDOW_SYSTEM block. (try_window_id) [HAVE_GPM || MSDOS]: Call x_clear_window_mouse_face. (draw_row_with_mouse_face): Implementation for HAVE_WINDOW_SYSTEM systems. (show_mouse_face): Call it, instead of calling draw_glyphs directly. (show_mouse_face, clear_mouse_face, coords_in_mouse_face_p) (cursor_in_mouse_face_p, rows_from_pos_range) (mouse_face_from_buffer_pos, mouse_face_from_string_pos) (note_mode_line_or_margin_highlight, note_mouse_highlight) (x_clear_window_mouse_face, cancel_mouse_face): Move out of the HAVE_WINDOW_SYSTEM block. Ifdef away window-system specific fragments. (note_mouse_highlight): Call popup_activated for MSDOS as well. Clear mouse highlight if pointer is over glyphs whose OBJECT is an integer.

(frame_to_window_pixel_xy, note_mouse_highlight) (x_clear_window_mouse_face, cancel_mouse_face, clear_mouse_face) (show_mouse_face, cursor_in_mouse_face_p): Move prototypes out of HAVE_WINDOW_SYSTEM conditional. (draw_row_with_mouse_face): Declare prototype. msdos.h (Display_Info): Don't define here. msdos.c (show_mouse_face, clear_mouse_face) (fast_find_position, IT_note_mode_line_highlight) (IT_note_mouse_highlight): Functions deleted.

Subject: M-x search-backward-in-time broken...
X-Windows: you'll envy the dead.

In GNU Emacs 51.70.4 (i9986-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Sat Feb  20 2199 on floss
configured using `configure  --with-x-toolkit=yes'

        The `search-backward-in-time' function appears to be broken in
Emacs 51.70.

        Unfortunately, I can never seem to start the debugger early
enough to catch the error as it happens.  However I have traced the
problem through source by eye, and it looks like `time-forward' can't
handle negative arguments anymore.  This is consistent with other
symptoms: for example, `undo' (which since 51.25 has worked by passing
a negative arg to `time-forward') is also broken.  However, `do' still
works -- it seems that `time-forward' continues to handle positive
arguments just fine.

        No one here-and-now can figure out how to fix the problem,
because the code for `time-forward' is so hairy.  We're using M-x
report-future-emacs-bug to request that you folks include more
comments when you write it (sometime in 2198 as I recall).

        Thanks!

P.S. You'll be pleased to know that since (time-forward N) still works
     for N >= 0, we've used it to pre-emptively update configure.in.
     Emacs now configures and builds on every platform that will ever
     be made.  It wasn't easy, but at least that's one problem out of
     the way for good.  If you'd like the patch, just ask.
