Re: bug report

William Estrada writes: Well, something seems to be broken there. The problem is that in a normal build of XEmacs, those mode variables are pre-loaded into the binary. Thus M-x customize-variable should *always* recognize them. OTOH, if it was a problem with the package, I'd think we or Fedora would be flooded with reports. Your original report shows an awful lot of Lisp shadows, which occasionally causes quite unpredictable problems. Please try starting XEmacs with "xemacs -vanilla" and check the modeline. If they're not there, try switching them on with Options -> Display -> Line Numbers. If that doesn't work, start with "xemacs -no-autoloads" (not much hope there if -vanilla doesn't help, but it's cheap to try). AFAICS, the default is for the position indicators to be "on" at startup. If that doesn't work for you, you could try (a) removing and reinstalling the XEmacs rpm(s), or (b) building XEmacs yourself. If it does, then there's a conflict with a package. C-h v VARIABLE-NAME <RET> tells you the value of the variable with that name and what it's for. (Some variables reverse the order, you may have to scroll down.) If one of your packages has modified those variables inappropriately, we'll need those values to figure out how to placate the package; just restoring the default probably won't work for you if the package puts useful information in the modeline. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
