Jan P.S. As to those patches I have flashed around, please don't apply those they are all debugging hacks & workarounds. I haven't had the time to do the real fix yet. Is 21.1.7 coming so soon?

What is easy-mmode.el? If it's an incompatible reimplementation of `add-minor-mode', fsf-compat is the right place for it.

One of them was recently updated, so make a quick check first to see whether or not the stuff you're trying to update has already been updated or not.

The answer is: yes, I can. I applied this patch to my copy of 21.1. I started xemacs -vanilla. When I attempted to edit the latest tkman Makefile, KA-BOOM! Here's the gdb backtrace.

Black gutter? 25 years, 3 months

Erik Arneson

I just did a CVS update to b19. The gutter worked alright at first, but once I started VM it turned black. There's a just a wee bit of an outline around one of the tabs...the rest are black. Are there faces to customize the gutter's colors? -- # Erik Arneson erik(a)starseed.com Webring Software Engineer # # Yahoo! Inc.

Christoph Wedler has done full syncs of imenu.el and speedbar.el to their latest versions, he just has to submit them. I suggest you (and Hrvoje) wait untill he does. Jan

My recent imenu.el patch 25 years, 3 months

Adrian Aichner

Hello Hrvoje, I may have missed some E-mail on the matter since I have not received any mail sent monday to wednesday this week. What do you think about http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-patches/9908/msg00064.html ? Maybe you prefer merging with the latest version of imenu.el from FSF Emacs instead. That task was just beyond my skills. As a short term remedy my patch works well for me. Regards, Adrian

ChangeLog's getting lost? [was Re: The `a b' syntax bug fixed] 25 years, 3 months

Jan Vroonhof

Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr> writes: > While I was away, someone fixed the infamous bug where typing `a b' > and pressing M-f jumped to the beginning of `a' instead of to the > beginning of `b'. Steve reintroduced the old non-mule code there and then I cleaned up the code by unifying the two. The code is now a lot cleaner (only very mild #ifdef MULE's going on). In the mean time I fixed a few off by one errors in the mule version. However there seems to be no ChangeLog entry for that, likewise I could have sworn that I made a ChangeLog entry for my frob-face-property bugfix. Either I am doing something wrong or they went missing. Jan
