I reported this a while ago, here: http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-beta/200006/msg00080.html but I guess no one else is seeing it - nevertheless, let me mention it again in case it triggers any ideas the odd thing is that it doesn't happen all the time, but instead appears randomly - I can't figure out what triggers it I think once it starts happening it continues until I restart, but I'm not sure the situation is as before, when I want to visit a folder in VM and I hit TAB twice to get a completions window I get a backtrace like this (slightly different from the one in the previous msg, but basically the same): Signaling: (error "Won't change only window") shrink-window(1 nil #<window on "*Completions*" 0x2d816>) byte-code("..."
