43 Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.

46 A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error

70 ** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
71
72 From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
73 Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200
74
75 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
76
77 2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
78
79 3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
80 a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
81 b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
82 c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
83 d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
84
85 4. Set for current session.
86
87 5. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
88
89 6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
90
91 The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
92 induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
93 problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
94 there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
95 bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
96
97 I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
98 I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
99 when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
100 within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
101 interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:

106 ** Mouse-face overlay bleeds into header line
107
108 From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
109 Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 18:11:01 +0200
110
111 Mouse-face overlays bleed into the header line when the beginning of
112 the overlay is above (point-min). To reproduce:
113
114 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
115
116 2. In *scratch* eval (setq ov (make-overlay 66 92)), (overlay-put ov
117 'mouse-face 'highlight), and (setq header-line-format "test").
118
119 3. Drag the mouse over the string "evaluation.\n;; If you want" and
120 notice the highlighting of only this string.
121
122 4. Now click on the down arrow in the scroll bar until the line
123 beginning ";; If you want" is directly below the header line.
124
125 5. Drag the mouse over ";; If you want" and notice that not only it
126 but also the header line are highlighted.
127

129 ** scroll-preserve-screen-position doesn't work with a header-line-format
130
131 From: jbyler+emacs-lists@anon41.eml.cc
132 Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 17:10:14 -0400
133
134 There seems to be an off-by-one error triggered by using a header line
135 together with scroll-preserve-screen-position. The symptom: instead of
136 staying in the same position on the screen when scrolling, the cursor
137 moves one screen line down each time the buffer is scrolled. Put
138 another way: repeatedly typing C-v M-v or using a mouse scroll wheel to
139 scroll up and down causes the cursor to migrate slowly down the screen
140 instead of staying put as it should.
141
142 To reproduce:
143
144 emacs -q --no-site-file
145 (setq scroll-preserve-screen-position t)
146 (setq header-line-format "")
147 C-v M-v C-v M-v C-v M-v etc.

150 ** Clicking on partially visible lines fails
151
152 From: David Kastrup <dak@gnu.org>
153 Date: 27 Apr 2004 16:42:58 +0200
154
155 I had gnus display a mouse-highlighted line (a URL from browse-url)
156 partially at the bottom of its window. If I click with middle mouse
157 key on it, the window gets recentered while I hold the mouse key
158 pressed. If I release it, the window returns into its old position
159 (cursor in top row) and nothing happens, presumably because the click
160 was not registered on the line itself, but on the magically
161 recentered version.
162
163 That is a nuisance. Recentering of even partially visible click
164 targets should only happen if window-point moves there, but not at
165 the time of the click. From the moment I hold down a key until it
166 gets released, the displayed window portion should not change, with
167 the sole exception of scrolling when dragging at the edge of the
168 screen.

171 ** Can't drag modeline when mouse-autoselect-window is set
172
173 From: Klaus Zeitler <kzeitler@lucent.com>
174 Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 11:14:49 +0200
175
176 1. start emacs -q --no-site-file
177 2. set variable mouse-autoselect-window to t
178 3. split-window-vertically
179
180 now I can drag the modeline only upwards but not downwards

183 ** line-spacing and (recenter -1)
184
185 From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
186 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:07:57 +0900 (JST)
187
188 (recenter -1) does not show point at the bottom of the window
189 if line-spacing is set to positive integer.
190
191 Start emacs -Q, and evaluate below:
192
193 (progn
194 (setq line-spacing 1)
195 (dotimes (i (window-height))
196 (insert "\n" (int-to-string i)))
197 (recenter -1))
198
199 Then, point is displayed at the center of the window.
200 But point should be displayed at the bottom of the window like Emacs-21.3.
201
202
203 ** line-spacing and garbage in fringe
204
205 From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
206 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:05 +0900 (JST)
207
208 Start emacs -Q and evaluate below with C-xC-e:
209
210 (let ((lines 2)
211 (spacing 1))
212 (setq line-spacing spacing
213 indicate-buffer-boundaries t)
214 (insert (make-string (window-height) ?\n))
215 (goto-char (point-min))
216 (message (make-string (* (window-width) lines) ?.))
217 (scroll-up 1))
218
219 then, garbage is displayed in right fringe.
220
221 Above code reproduces this bug with
222 (frame-parameter nil 'font)
223 => "-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1"
224
225 If you use different font, you may need different value of
226 `lines' and/or `spacing'.
227
228
229 ** line-spacing and Electric-pop-up-window
230
231 From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
232 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:10 +0900 (JST)
233
234 Electric-pop-up-window does not work well
235 if truncate long lines disabled and/or
236 `line-spacing' is set to positive integer.
237
238 For example, start emacs -Q --line-spacing 1, and type M-` .
239 Then, the last line of *Completions* buffer is not visible.
240
241 fit-window-to-buffer works well for me, so I guess
242 Electric-pop-up-window can use it.
