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!
M-x customize-face RET default RET
Select Foreground and remove the existing value in the field by pressing
backspace. When the backspace key is pressed beyond the editable field and
into the text description of the field, I get the following backtrace:
(1) (png/info) Software - XV Version 3.10a Rev: 12/29/94 (PNG patch 1.2)
(2) (png/info) Comment - Made with GIMP
(3) (error/warning) error: (error (Attempt to change text outside editable field))
Backtrace follows:
# bind (inhibit-quit)
signal(error ("Attempt to change text outside editable field"))
# bind (args datum)
cerror("Attempt to change text outside editable field")
apply(cerror "Attempt to change text outside editable field" nil)
# bind (args datum)
error("Attempt to change text outside editable field")
# bind (from-field to-field to from)
widget-before-change(379 380)
# (unwind-protect ...)
# (catch #<INTERNAL OBJECT (XEmacs bug?) (opaque, size=0) 0x4080bad8> ...)
# (unwind-protect ...)
# (unwind-protect ...)
# (unwind-protect ...)
delete-backward-char(1 nil)
# bind (command-debug-status)
call-interactively(delete-backward-char)
# (condition-case ... . error)
# (catch top-level ...)
Don't know if it's a bug. I have not enabled backtrace on. Is it enabled by
default on XEmacs beta builds ?

For some things it seems to be, yes. But don't forget that this is
beta software (aka a test version). So this is a good thang[tm].
