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! The docstring for face-spec-set-match-display(display &optional frame) says: "If FRAME is nil or omitted, the selected frame is used." However, the following two calls return different values for me: (face-spec-set-match-display '((background dark))) (face-spec-set-match-display '((background dark)) (selected-frame)) To reproduce, - Set your background to black in custom and save - Open a new xemacs (it should now have the black background) - C-x 5 2 * Once you're in the new frame, - M-S-; (face-spec-set-match-display '((background dark))) * returns nil - M-S-; (face-spec-set-match-display '((background dark)) (selected-frame)) * returns (dark) I believe that this is because of a call to get-custom-frame-properties() here: "... (let* ((props (get-custom-frame-properties frame)) ..." get-custom-frame-properties() returns a value for the *default* frame if frame is nil, not the *selected* frame. Thus, there is a docstring contradiction. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux peppermint 2.4.9-ac7 #1 2001ǯ 9·î 5Æü ¿åÍËÆü 04:25:45 JST i686 unknown ./configure '--with-sound=native,esd' '--cflags=-O2 -g -Wall' '--with-x11' '--extra-verbose' '--with-site-lisp' '--statedir=/var/lib' '--infodir=/usr/share/info/xemacs-21.5-b3' '--prefix=/usr' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--const-is-losing=no' '--dynamic' '--without-postgresql' '--with-gpm=no' '--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs-21.5-b3/i386-debian-linux/gnome-nomule/' '--package-path=~/.xemacs:~/.xemacs/packages::/usr/share/xemacs21/packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages' '--with-gtk' '--with-gnome' 'i386-debian-linux' XEmacs 21.5-b3 "asparagus" configured for `i386-debian-linux'.
