Re: gud.el broken or is it just me? 22 years

It mostly works[1], but it sorely lacks the functionality in gdbsrc.el. Making a gudsrc.el mode is on my list of things to do. It was in ftp://altair.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs-futures/ when I was on the 'net. It was delayed integration into the XEmacs packages pending 21.0 release. I also have a ported cua-mode.el to integrate. NOTE: The gud.el and cua-mode.el XEmacs portings are courtesy of Altrasoft, Inc. Thank you Altrasoft. Footnotes: [1] I have a report that my port does not work on Solaris with dbx.

Assertion failure int event-msw.c 24 years

David Bush

On repeated exposure events in the Cygwin build I get an assertion failure in mswindows_dequeue_dispatch_event. I've never looked at this code before so there is little chance I could resolve the issue by the deadline for the next beta. If no one else can get a quick handle on the problem I will look more closely fore the following beta. I found it easy to reproduce the problem in gnus by simply getting into a newsgroup and repeatedly covering part of the Xemacs frame and then minimizing the covering window.

A few problems with XEmacs 21.2.11. 24 years

Dan Glastonbury

G'Day, I'm having a problem with package management and Shell-script mode with font-lock-mode. Firstly to the Shell-script mode problem. If I load a shell script, say my .bashrc file, and then try turning on font-locking, the following message appears in the mini buffer: No match 2 in highlight (2 font-lock-comment-face t) This occurs if I start xemacs with xemacs, xemacs -vanilla, xemacs -q -no-site-file. My other problem is when I try required packages in the package list buffer with the `r' key. I get in the mini-buffer" Wrong type argument: number-char-or-marker-p, nil How do I fix these problems?! I'm running XEmacs 21.2.11 on Windows NT/SP4 (XEmacs 21.2 "Calliope" (cygwin32) of Tue Mar 02 1999 on polyester) with version 1.08 of sh-script package and thanks in advance Dan --KAA00789.921540713/gauss.adelaide.maptek.com.au Content-Type: text/plain -- Daniel Glastonbury <dan at adelaide.maptek.com.au> --------------------------------------------------- It is so hot in some parts of the world that the people there have to live other places.

[21.0b62] mouse copy and paste on NT4.0 24 years

Roger Wimmer

Hi I have built Xemacs 21.0b62 on NT 4.0. All works fine except the mouse binding. I can highlight a region with the left button of the mouse. But if i try to paste the selection with the middle button, nothing appears in the buffer. But I have the following error message in the minibuffer: "Kill ring is empty" When I use C-Insert after highlighting the region, paste with the middle button works fine. How can I change that the highlighted region is in the kill ring? Roger -- Lieber wenige Programme die laufen als viele die abstuerzen! (Ein gluecklicher SUN-user ;-) Aber zuhause hat man ja Zeit zum Basteln.

Did you apply any patches, namely to simple.el? My definition of the function comes from d:\export\home\tmp\21.2\xemacs\lisp\simple.el and does not attempt to convert the `integer' ?\t (which it is not) into a character (which it already is). When I evaluate this: (int-char ?\t) I get that: Signaling: (wrong-type-argument integerp ?\t) int-char(?\t) eval((int-char ?\t)) eval-interactive((int-char ?\t)) eval-last-sexp(nil) call-interactively(eval-last-sexp) Try M-x find-function RET quoted-insert RET and see where it takes you.

Re: completion-ignored-extensions 24 years, 2 months

>>>>> Didier Verna writes: > I find the default value of this variable particularly agressive > and arbitrary. I think it should be reduced to the minimum, like > binary files or so. I think the default matches what many users would want. For example, many of the entries are there from TeX/LaTeX. This wouldn't affect non-TeX users (so no harm done) and it is really nice for people who do use TeX. Occasionally, one may want to visit one of the various auxillary files like a .toc file, but that is pretty rare (and is never for most users). The way things are, you can still edit the .toc file, you just can't complete to it. John Jones jj(a)asu.edu

BUG REPORT: Custom Unwanted Face/Color interaction 24 years, 2 months

Martin Buchholz

Let me add a bug report to the custom faces debate. Being perverse, I like my shell buffers to look different from all my other buffers. So I do something like this: (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda () (set-face-background 'default "midnightblue" (current-buffer)))) If I start a shell, then change fonts by doing Options->Size->14, my font sizes do indeed change, but my background color customization is gone. Subsequently started shell buffers are back to midnightblue.
