*** KDE: Emacs hangs on KDE when a large portion of text is killed.

This is caused by a bug in the KDE applet `klipper' which periodically
requests the X clipboard contents from applications.  Early versions
of klipper don't implement the ICCM protocol for large selections,
which leads to Emacs being flooded with selection requests.  After a
while, Emacs may print a message:

  Timed out waiting for property-notify event

A certain X server for Windows had a bug which caused this.
Supposedly the newer 32-bit version of this server doesn't have the
problem.

** Known problems with the MS-Windows port of Emacs 21.2.

Frames are not refreshed while the File or Font dialog or a pop-up menu
is displayed. This also means help text for pop-up menus is not
displayed at all.  This is because message handling under Windows is
synchronous, so we cannot handle repaint (or any other) messages while

after moving back into it.

Some minor flickering still persists during mouse-tracking, although
not as severely as in 21.1.

Emacs can sometimes abort when non-ASCII text, possibly with null
characters, is copied and pasted into a buffer.

An inactive cursor remains in an active window after the Windows
Manager driven switch of the focus, until a key is pressed.

Windows input methods are not recognized by Emacs (as of v21.2).  Some
of these input methods cause the keyboard to send characters encoded
in the appropriate coding system (e.g., ISO 8859-1 for Latin-1
characters, ISO 8859-8 for Hebrew characters, etc.).  To make this
work, set the keyboard coding system to the appropriate value after
you activate the Windows input method.  For example, if you activate

Using create-fontset-from-ascii-font or the --font startup parameter
with a Chinese, Japanese or Korean font leads to display problems.
Use a Latin-only font as your default font. If you want control over
which font is used to display Chinese, Japanese or Korean character,
use create-fontset-from-fontset-spec to define a fontset.
