Menu-display bug? 24 years, 1 month

Kai Haberzettl

OK, I don't know if this is a problem of my windowmanager or of XEmacs, but here goes: - XEmacs beta 36 from CVS ; Windowmaker 0.62.1 - pull down a menu on the XEmacs menubar - minimize XEmacs, not with the mouse but with the keyboard shortcut -> the menu stays on the screen and will not react to any input until you resize XEmacs again.

Typical usage here, and in both the UK and the US to the best of my knowledge, would be 'Mr Stallman', or his first name, depending on how informal the document is.

It's flamebait, yes. OTOH, it also seems right from my point of view, and I was never an xemacs developer(tm). I don't think it's *that* bad, though, and I didn't spot anything that wasn't factual (if potentially biased) to the best of my knowledge. OTOH, I am also an Australian and we are known for not giving a damn about anything, so I have a high tolerance for flame-inducing material. :) Daniel -- Among those whom I like, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. -- W.H.
