================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I don't know if this rightly counts as a bug, but it is somewhat annoying ... It isn't a total crash/core-dump, but quite often a nasty hang. I wouldn't bother you with this, but I was unable to find any references to it on the web, and am wondering if it is a known issue. Being a total emacs freak, I do almost everything in emacs (actually xemacs). Over the years I have never gotten used to the fact that when I have a command inside a *shell* buffer that outputs scads of junk, that WHEN I TRY TO MOVE THE POINT WHILE OUTPUT IS STILL SPEWING, then the whole xemacs process hangs for a LONG time (sometimes forever ?? unless I kill the process that is producing the output) and utilizes nearly 100% CPU. I tried the same thing in regular emacs and it behaves better (ie no hang). I think this has happened/happens on every installation of xemacs that I have used so far.( Exacerbated by truncate-lines=t??? I have suspected that this may be entangled with syntax-highlighting being on in the *shell* buffer, but I'm not sure - I think I disabled it but I still get the offending behavior. ) thanks! EMACS RULES! You guys RULE! theo ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux ke.mandrakesoft.com 2.4.18-21mdksmp #1 SMP Thu Jul 4 15:18:52 CEST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux ../../configure 'i386-mandrake-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--package-path=//usr/share/xemacs/' '--datadir=//usr/share' '--mandir=//usr/share/man/man0' '--infodir=//usr/share/info' '--libdir=//usr/lib' '--bindir=//usr/bin' '--infopath=//usr/share/info' '--with-gpm=no' '--with-sound=none' '--with-pop' '--mail-locking=flock' '--with-clash-detection' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--with-menubars=lucid' '--with-xpm' '--with-xface' '--with-png' '--with-jpeg' '--with-tiff' '--dynamic=yes' '--with-ncurses' '--without-ldap' '--without-postgresql' '--with-gpm=no' '--with-clash-detection' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--with-x11' '--with-tty=yes' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-widgets=athena' '--with-athena=3d' '--with-file-coding' XEmacs 21.4.12 "Portable Code" configured for `i386-mandrake-linux'.
