WTF? You mean "if you USE OffiX," don't you?
But on the other hand the sentence is correct. It says: If you compile in
OffiX (prequisite) you may run into problems using multiple displays. That it
is.
If you open another frame on a different display, the Atom number difference
(sorry, no explosion ;-) makes XEmacs core dump, cause it may understand a
simple WM_PROTOCOL (enter for example) message, as a Drop and will access
unspecified memory cause it uses the wrong part of the XEvent union.
If even compiling with OffiX is so buggy, should we even include it
to
this release?
It is only buggy if you open frames on multiple displays from the same
instance of XEmacs. [I never encountered this problem...]
XEmacs 20.3+ had the same problems, and we also included OffiX...
