White was deemed too bright, gray75 > was deemed too dark. gray80 was the compromise color. Yes, I believe I was the one who pushed gray80 at the time, with your and Steve's support. I still think it's a better default than white. On the other hand, I liked the widgets being slightly darker (gray75).

Can reproduce it on Solaris. It has something to do with adding timers in post-command hook If you do this (setq bla 1) (defun tester-setup () (start-itimer "testje" (lambda (&rest r) (message "bla = %s" (incf bla)) (sit-for 1)) 1 nil t)) (add-hook 'post-command-hook 'tester-setup) and start a drag you'll crash XEmacs.

Popup menu question 26 years, 5 months

How do I find out the buffer off which a popup menu item was selected? It seems the current buffer remains unchanged even when I click on something in the popup menu of a different buffer in another window. -- Cheers =8-} Chipsy Friede, Völkerverständigung und überhaupt blabla

Yet *another* font-latex version. 26 years, 5 months

Peter S Galbraith

This package enhances font-lock fontification patterns for LaTeX. ftp://ftp.phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/rhogee/elisp/font-latex.el -- This version fixes another infinite loop bug in multi-line patterns. I have changed my multi-line cache system, so I hope this will work better. However, it *still* relies on moving point, so it's still error prone. Let me know how it works. Since most cache-related infinite loop problems are triggered only when actually typing, it's hard to extensively test this in a short time. Therefore I am releasing the code anyway. Since the previous release is *known* to have infinite loop problem, I recommend the upgrade even if it's not extensively tested. If you do find an infinite loop, send me the smallest repeatable case you can generate, and continue working around the bug by setting: (setq font-latex-do-multi-line nil) I will do my best to squash any bugs you find as soon as possible. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <GalbraithP(a)dfo-mpo.gc.ca> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.

I over-reacted in an attempt to make sure package-get-base is loaded before it is used by any functions in package-get.el. package-get.el hasn't been augmented in a long time (e.g. I submitted a suggestion to make it fetch packages asynchronuously around the end of March 98) and I don't think it's ready to ship. It would probably be good enough to just (require 'package-get-base) at the beginning of package-get.el and get rid of the spreaded (load "package-get-base.el") altogether.

Neither do I, and once I finish hacking on (load ...) and friends, there won't be any. :) I want (load "foo") to search look for foo.ell, then foo.elc, then foo.el, then just plain foo. anybody got any better ideas for naming the modules? I thought ell was good enough, stays with the 3 letter extension, and is kind of close to dll. :) -Bill P.
