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!
When I use Gnus on a client invoked with gnuclient -nw remotely,
periodically I am unable to scroll down using 'SPC'. I think I've
tracked this down to the following code snippet in
gnus-summary-next-page:
,----
| (let ((article (gnus-summary-article-number))
| (article-window (get-buffer-window gnus-article-buffer t))
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| endp)
| etc.
`----
When SPC behaves as it should the underlined code returns non-nil When
the problem happens article window gets bound to nil. Quitting and
restarting XEmacs gets rid of this behavior.
I've discussed this issue on the ding list and they seem to be out of
ideas.
