I do (well, did) it in Emacs/W3 - the source comes in from an HTTP request, we parse it, kill that buffer, draw in a new buffer. Ran into all sorts of oddities trying to kill that buffer from within the a-c-f. So I just throw it on a list and just delete all buffers on the list next time you come thru the url functions. -bp

At one time I considered modifying inside_change_hook to be a per-buffer flag. Currently, if an after/before-change function writes to *another* buffer, the *other* buffer's after/before-change function won't get run. That's wrong.

GC bug 25 years, 1 month

Andy Piper

Well I can reproduce one of the GC problems we are having: ./xemacs -q C-x C-f gutter-items.el M-x garbage-collect If you then try clicking on a tab nothing happens because the callback has been garbage collected. No time to investigate - I have to go and see the acropolis. I'll see if I can figure it out on the plane on the way back andy -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Andy Piper Senior Consultant Architect, BEA Systems Ltd

Could someone fix modeline shadow redisplay glitches? 25 years, 1 month

Martin Buchholz

Try this: (set-specifier modeline-shadow-thickness 10) ; to accentuate the negative Now try obscuring just the modeline shadow (not the main part of the modeline) and re-expose it. The modeline shadow is not redrawn in response to the expose event. Related bug: Do M-x ispell-buffer. See how the ispell *Choices* buffer is mostly obscured by the modeline shadow, making the *Choices* buffer useless. Perhaps Andy or Jan could fix this?

Flyspell is a minor mode so the keymap always priority. I don't think there is an easy way out here, short of removing the binding from fly-spell altogether. Jan

The trace is actually correct! It turns out that the buffer was deleted by lisp code during the after_change_functions[1]. W3's fancy async stuff uses the a-c-f a lot for nontrivial stuff. The whole page is rendered in an a-c-f! The patch at end fixes the crash (but I still get a buffer-live-p lisp error from somewhere). I think that whole code should be audited for race conditions.... > > P.S.

It is even more weird than that... Look at the following session and stand in awe... It some how coming back to a change it did earlier!

undefine key binding 25 years, 1 month

Michael Harnois

How do I undo flyspell's stealing of M-tab from bbdb? I can see how to do it by brute force by removing it from flyspell.el, but I'm sure there's a right way, I just seem to be too stupid to figure it out. I thought putting (define-key bbdb-mode-map "\M-\t" 'bbdb-complete-name) in .emacs would do it, but I seem to have been wrong. -- Michael D.
