When I enter shell mode (I'm using ksh) if I start a
program that has lots of output, I can't break it
or move my cursor around until the program ends. Its
almost like xemacs is waiting for the shell to take a
breath before it will interrupt it.
That happens to me too, and it is really annoying.
My guess is that input is arriving too fast for xemacs to process the
input, making xemacs the bottleneck. Then, maybe X events are not handled
while there is non-X pipe input to process. Maybe include display updates
in there somewhere.
Maybe non-X input is being considered a higher priority than X input
and/or X display refresh has very low priority. I think both may be true.
This problem isn't there in telnet or rsh. It is there in
rlogin and shell.
Maybe the process-input path is shorter in those modes? Does telnet do
fontification? Maybe it can be turned off in shell modes to at least
help with the input flood?
