Last frame deletion 25 years, 2 months

Alexey V. Barancev

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. In XEmacs 21.2 (beta19) "Shinjuku" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of Wed Nov 10 1999 on dallas configured using `configure --with-pop --package-path=/usr/local/lib/xemacs/packages' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: 1. Start "xemacs -unmapped -f gnuserv-start" 2. Start "gnuclient" 3. Delete frame with "delete-frame" (I have bound C-x C-c on this defun) 4. Frame of the client killed 5. ANOTHER FRAME APPEARS INSTEAD! 6. Attempt to delete this frame gets error "Attempt to delete last frame" Variable `allow-deletion-of-last-visible-frame' set `t' with command (setq allow-deletion-of-last-visible-frame t) Recent keystrokes: button1 button1up C-x C-c button1 button1up C-x C-c C-x C-f ~ / . e / x e TAB RET down down down down down down down down down down down C-h v a l l o TAB d e TAB RET q C-x C-c M-x d e l e t e - f TAB r TAB RET misc-user Recent messages (most recent first): Parsing /localhome/alexey/.mailrc...

The pdump'er doesn't produce xemacs it produces an xemacs.dmp file Start "./temacs" and it will see the xemacs.dmp file is there and load it. Jan

Yes, Virginia, that is really XEmacs 21.2.20 on the FTP site 25 years, 2 months

SL Baur

I've put XEmacs 21.2.20 on the FTP site: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.2/ The patch kit is corrupted by two new binary files that weren't checked into CVS properly. The -info and -elc tarballs are no more. There is only a single xemacs-21.2.20.tar.gz file. I'll make a regular announcement over xemacs-announce tomorrow. Have a nice night/day/afternoon/whatever.

Re: Patch: browse-url.el 25 years, 2 months

Ben Wing

Veto. I am absolutely, positively sure that there's a version of browse-url out there that fixes this. In fact, I've already seen this fix been put into browse-url *numerous* times. Someone must have reverted our version, so let's fix that instead. ben Matt Curtin wrote: > Sending URLs to Netscape barfs if there are commas in the URL (as > there often are at news.com, britannica.com, and elsewhere).
