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.
In XEmacs 21.2 (beta32) "Kastor & Polydeukes" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of
Wed Mar 22 2000 on cx767414-a
configured using `configure --ldflags=-s'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Xemacs crashed twice on me (once when I was in dired and did not
recover the error-messages); the last time when I reached the end
of a buffer using a down-arrow key.
Here is the error output
Lisp backtrace follows:
ding(nil buffer-bound)
byte-code("..." [signal-error-on-buffer-boundary ding nil buffer-bound] 3)
# bind (arg)
next-line(1)
# bind (command-debug-status)
call-interactively(next-line)
# (condition-case ... . error)
# (catch top-level ...)
[1] Abort xemacs -q
In addition, since I installed XFree86-4.0 I get these warnings
(both in Xemacs-21.1.9, and in Xemacs-21.2.32:
(1) (key-mapping/warning)
The meanings of the modifier bits Mod1 through Mod5 are determined
by the keysyms used to control those bits. Mod1 does NOT always
mean Meta, although some non-ICCCM-compliant programs assume that.
(2) (key-mapping/warning)
The semantics of the modifier bits ModShift, ModLock, and ModControl
are predefined. It does not make sense to assign ModControl to any
keysym other than Control_L or Control_R, or to assign any modifier
bits to the "control" keysyms other than ModControl. You can't
turn a "control" key into a "meta" key (or vice versa) by simply
assigning the key a different modifier bit. You must also make that
key generate an appropriate keysym (Control_L, Meta_L, etc).
(3) (key-mapping/warning) XEmacs: Caps_Lock (0x42) generates ModControl, which is
nonsensical.
This seems to be a new bug/feature of the key-mapping in
XFree86-4.0.
