This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.

Dear Bug Team!
There appears to be a very annoying border display glitch which is
most evident when you set the following X resource (although see below
for a reproducible recipe in a vanilla environment):
XEmacs*EmacsFrame.internalBorderWidth: 0
Here's the odd thing: building XEmacs 21.4.8 from scratch, and from
source, I only see the bug on my Redhat 7.3 box. I do not see the bug
on my Mandrake 8.2, 8.1, or Redhat 6.1 systems. All are built with
the same configure option (see below). Note that it's the build box
that matters, not the box the window is being displayed on. If I
gnuclient tunnel a window over ssh from the RH6.1 system to the RH7.3
display, no border display glitch. If I tunnel the window from RH7.3
to the RH6.1 display, border glitch.
Here's how to reproduce it in a completely vanilla environment.
1. Make sure you have no XEmacs or Emacs X resources set.
2. xemacs -vanilla
3. M-x customize-face RET default RET
4. (set the background to gray25)
5. (set face for current session)
6. C-l
After hitting the C-l you should see a thin gray line drawn just
inside the X window's frame border. This line is the same color as
the gutter, modeline, and toolbar background. When the X resource
internalBorderWidth is set to 0, this will draw over any characters in
column zero. Because C-l nails you it's very difficult to clean up.
One more piece of information which may or may not matter: I'm using
Fvwm 2.4.6 as my window manager. On the RH7.3 system this comes from
the standard RH install. On the Mandrake 8.2 box, it is also the
standard package (I believe). On the MD8.1 and RH6.1 systems, it's
the same Fvwm version built from source.
I'm going to build Fvwm2 from source on RH7.3 just to see if it's a
window manager problem, although I doubt it is. I can send a screen
capture if you don't believe me. :)
