This might be my fault. However, I am unable to repeat it. For me, the window is not deleted. If you wish to debug this, `save-some-buffers' is a good place to look. I believe the current setup of that function is correct, but I may have overlooked something. -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Manic depression is cool... your body can make its own drugs.

It's bad enough that XEmacs requires me to install a GIF library -- it even begins to be picky about *which* library I install. Let's be consistent, please. > Jareth sent mail about this a week or two ago. Something about > gifreader not containing GIF writing code. It still contains GIF reading code, which is what we use. XEmacs should use Autoconf to test which library you have, and use the appropriate one. Jareth, could you please comment on this? Is this intentional? -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: Mr Gandhi, what do you think of Western Civilization?

Re: Bug when selecting TTY frames 26 years, 5 months

Hi Kyle, I've been looking into this using (add-hook 'deselect-frame-hook (lambda () (insert "deselect\n"))) since my redraw-frame is too fast to really notice. I can reproduce this bug, however, the same bug exists for select-frame. I am quite confident that my focus changes didn't change the behavior when focus-follows-mouse is nil, so I guess it's been broken a while. I happen to have 20.0-b28 (comes with sparcworks) and it also exhibits this bug with select-frame. This XEmacs version seems to pre-date focus-follows-mouse. Kyle> If instead you add redraw-frame to select-frame-hook and use Kyle> focus-frame, the correct frame gets the redraw. But if you then Kyle> move the mouse into a third frame, the first frame (the one that Kyle> used to have the focus) is redrawn, which suggests some internal Kyle> confusion about which frame is being selected. I am unable to reproduce this. I used the analogous hook and everything seems to be behaving correctly. greg

But I assume gifreader will become more stable/mature, and giflib be abandoned, so maybe not. -Bill P.
