Hello Adrian, shure, both tools are free. Here are the URL's: multiDesk: http://download-tipp.de/Detail/5721.shtml Version 2.1b ECB: http://home.swipnet.se/mayhem/ecb.html Version 1.70 I got the same behaviour with 21.4.8 (installed manually...). However, I attached the bug-rebort output of emacs to this file. Kind regards, Frank Roland> This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, Roland> not to your local site managers!! Roland> Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have Roland> translators to read other languages for them. Roland> Please describe as succinctly as possible: Roland> - What happened. Roland> - What you thought should have happened. Roland> - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Roland> Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. Roland> ================================================================ Roland> Dear Bug Team! Roland> Xemacs does not update its frame, if I use multiple Roland> desktops (multiDesk), switch to another desktop and switch Roland> back to the desktop containing emacs. The menu and toolbar Roland> is still working. Roland> However, I can reactivate the drawing of the buffer Roland> content (and status-bar) if I activate (or deactivate) ECB Roland> (the code browser from Jesper Nordenberg). Roland> Hope you can find the cause for this problem. Adrian> Thanks for the report, Roland. Adrian> Please provide URLs for install kits of multiDesk and ECB for the Adrian> exact versions you use, if they're free. Adrian> Please upgrade to the latest netinstaller version of XEmacs at Adrian> http://www.xemacs.org/Download/win32/ (21.4.8 Windows; even though the Adrian> website does not state this, that's what you'll get) and report back Adrian> what you find (via M-x report-emacs-bug) Adrian> ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- OS version: Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195] OS: Windows_NT XEmacs 21.4.8 \"Honest Recruiter (Windows)\" configured for `i586-pc-win32'.
