[bug] Multiple frame multiple server, cursor position after `switch-to-other-buffer' 22 years, 11 months

Karl M. Hegbloom

`switch-to-other-buffer', or perhaps something lower down (?) will, when you have frames open on multiple displays, get confused as to which cursor position to use when you flip back to the other buffer. I've got an XEmacs (recent CVS, X build, since GTK doesn't work with multiple X displays) that's running on the machine I develop on at work. It's got frames on my home workstation's X server, my workstation at work's, and on a third machine (my progeny sidekick) at work. On sidekick, I've got an Apache error log tail -f going, and on my workstation I edit code. When I left home this morning, one file I'm working in was left showing with the cursor somewhere within it... I cannot recall where. (when I got home the cursor was at upper left). On my workstation, I'd switch buffers using `M-C-l' (switch-to-other-buffer) between the code and the shell I was restarting the Apache from. If I left the shell showing, while I watched the error log tail over to my right on sidekick's display, then flipped back to the code buffer, the cursor would lose position and be shown at the upper left. I think it was getting confused about which frame/window it needed to display... but when I flipped back right away, not sitting around waiting for the server restart messages to print to the shell, but right back to the code in front of me on the workstation, the cursor would stay put. I am not sure where to begin looking for the bug or what the symptoms indicate. Will someone please essay? TIA. I'd fix it if I could.

tar-mode on auto-mode-alist 22 years, 11 months

Jeff Mincy

I just noticed that tar-mode is a little overrepresented on auto-mode-alist, containing the following: ("\\.tar$" . tar-mode) ("\\.tar$" . tar-mode) ("\\.tar\\'" . tar-mode) ("\\.tgz\\'" . tar-mode) These definitions come from: lisp/files.el (defvar auto-mode-alist '(... ("\\.tar\\'" . tar-mode) xemacs-packages: lisp/os-utils/auto-autoloads.el:(setq auto-mode-alist (cons (cons tar-regexp 'tar-mode) auto-mode-alist)) lisp/os-utils/jka-compr.el: (list (cons "\\.tgz\\'" 'tar-mode)) lisp/os-utils/tar-mode.el(setq auto-mode-alist (cons (cons tar-regexp 'tar-mode) auto-mode-alist)) Perhaps this should be replaced with one pattern that matches .tar, .taz, and .tgz? ("\\.t\$ar\\|gz\\|az\$\\'" . tar-mode) -jeff

21.4 hang during custom menu activation 22 years, 11 months

James N. Potts

When I attempt to traverse through the customize menu hierarchy, my xemacs process hangs completely. This seems to be triggered by certain menu entries, like "Programming" (see the attached snapshot). I have no idea if this is win32-specific or not. I haven't had a chance to run it under a debugger yet to see if I can figure out where it's hanging. Does anyone else see this, or better yet know how to fix it? -Jim Potts describe-installation: OS: Windows_NT XEmacs 21.4 \"Copyleft\" configured for `i586-pc-win32'.

diff-mode for vc-backend-diff 22 years, 11 months

Jeff Mincy

In prog-modes/diff-mode.el ;; XEmacs change: no autoload for this for the transition period (defadvice vc-backend-diff (around diff-mode-vc activate) ;; BEWARE!! when this is autoloaded, CL might not be available (condition-case () (with-current-buffer "*vc-diff*" (setq buffer-read-only nil)) (error nil)) ad-do-it (condition-case () (with-current-buffer "*vc-diff*" (if (memq major-mode '(fundamental-mode diff-mode)) (diff-mode))) (error nil))) The above breaks when the default-major-mode is something other than fundamental-mode. As when: (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode) Please consider changing this to: ... (if (or (eq major-mode default-major-mode) (memq major-mode '(fundamental-mode diff-mode))) (diff-mode)) -jeff

Should this be derived and passed down from emacs_Xt_event_pending_p or should drain_X_queue operate on all displays? -- John M. Adams
