Ar an triú lá de mí na Nollaig, scríobh Volken Sébastien: “It’s fairly painful to program in Java in XEmacs when the latter gives an error every time I type an equals sign followed by a space bar, as, for example I do to initialise variables.” [translation omitted on the assumption that it’s clear enough] “The error is as follows—it’s alwaysthe same one:” ... “I’ve checked Google to see if anyone else has had the same error. Apparently they do, however, I haven’t found a solution. Does anyone know what I have to rectify to make XEmacs more agreeable to use.” Sébastien, if you type M-: (setq font-lock-pre-idle-hook nil) RET, does that surpress the symptoms? If so, the error is in one of the functions that appear after you restart and type C-h v font-lock-pre-idle-hook RET , but surpressing the symptoms may be enough for you. (Je n’ai malheureusement pas le temps de traduire ce paragraphe, mais j’imagine que, étant donné votre utilisation de Java et de XEmacs meme, vous savez bien lire l’anglais.) -- “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H.L. Mencken
