Re: Re: [21.4] Fix for progress gauge flashing under openmotif

Andy> Its amazing what you can do with real documentation! Andy> This is as the subject says and recommended for 21.4. I have had mixed successes with this patch. On Linux it seems to have fixed up the bad behavior. But on Solaris, there are still problems. While the flashing is gone, I still have the problem where the progress bar doesn't start moving until I move the mouse. (At one point I publically hypothesized that this problem was cured by Sun patch 108941-24 (Motif Runtime), but I have not been able to reproduce this result) I'll see what I can do to troubleshoot this, but my available time is limited. I can give Andy (or whoever needs it) access to a Solaris box if this would help the debugging effort. There's also some brokenness with the progress gauge and "font-lock-maximum-size". If I bring up xemacs 21.5 (with the -q flag) and find src/redisplay.c, then do M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer, I get a message in the "gutter" area telling me "Fontifying redisplay.c: buffer too big". But as soon as I move the mouse, the buffer is fontified, with the gee-whiz-nifty progress gauge moving smoothly. By the way, Andy - next time you are editing glyphs-widget.c, not that "gauge" is spelled "gauge" and not "guage". I'm not quite fussy enough to produce a patch just to fix this typo, but next time somebody is making a "real" change to this file it would be nice to fix.
