Re: refresh problems under Windows XP

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! I'm having problems with XEmacs getting into a state where it refuses to refresh its windows. The buffers seem to continue to respond to keystrokes and if I hit C-l (recenter), the display refreshes and shows any changes I've made. The only thing I've found that fixes things is to minimize and restore the window. Once I've done that every thing seems to work normally until the next time it gets confused. I'm not using any special window managers, but I am running on a dual headed machine. I have noticed that the problem seems to occur most often right after I've run a command that invokes a background process (e.g. cvs-update). It doesn't happen every time, but if the command take a while to complete (e.g. a couple of seconds) it seems to happen very frequently. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 TSUNAMI 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i686 unknown ./configure '--with-dragndrop' '--with-postgresql=no' '--with-x=no' '--bindir=/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin' '--with-site-lisp=yes' '--with-ipv6-cname=no' '--with-netinstall' XEmacs 21.4.8 "Honest Recruiter (Windows)" configured for `i686-pc-cygwin'.
