Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file. - -2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'. - -3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face - a. check width and give it the value `narrow'; - b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt; - c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored'); - d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored'). - -4. Set for current session. - -5. Invoke Ediff on any two files. - -6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU. - -The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to -induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a -problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater -there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the -bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less). - -I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing -I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill -when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens -within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After -interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example: - -Update: Maybe only reveals itself when compiled with GTK+ - - * DOCUMENTATION ** Document Custom Themes.
