-** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
-
-From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
-Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200
-
-1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
-
-2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
-
-3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
- a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
- b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
- c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
- d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
-
-4. Set for current session.
-
-5. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
-
-6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
-
-The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
-induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
-problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
-there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
-bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
-
-I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
-I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
-when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
-within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
-interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:

-** Mouse-face overlay bleeds into header line
-
-From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
-Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 18:11:01 +0200
-
-Mouse-face overlays bleed into the header line when the beginning of
-the overlay is above (point-min). To reproduce:
-
-1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
-
-2. In *scratch* eval (setq ov (make-overlay 66 92)), (overlay-put ov
-'mouse-face 'highlight), and (setq header-line-format "test").
-
-3. Drag the mouse over the string "evaluation.\n;; If you want" and
-notice the highlighting of only this string.
-
-4. Now click on the down arrow in the scroll bar until the line
-beginning ";; If you want" is directly below the header line.
-
-5. Drag the mouse over ";; If you want" and notice that not only it
-but also the header line are highlighted.
-
-
-** scroll-preserve-screen-position doesn't work with a header-line-format
-
-From: jbyler+emacs-lists@anon41.eml.cc
-Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 17:10:14 -0400
-
-There seems to be an off-by-one error triggered by using a header line
-together with scroll-preserve-screen-position. The symptom: instead of
-staying in the same position on the screen when scrolling, the cursor
-moves one screen line down each time the buffer is scrolled. Put
-another way: repeatedly typing C-v M-v or using a mouse scroll wheel to
-scroll up and down causes the cursor to migrate slowly down the screen
-instead of staying put as it should.
-
-To reproduce:
-
-emacs -q --no-site-file
-(setq scroll-preserve-screen-position t)
-(setq header-line-format "")
-C-v M-v C-v M-v C-v M-v etc.
-
-
-** Clicking on partially visible lines fails
-
-From: David Kastrup <dak@gnu.org>
-Date: 27 Apr 2004 16:42:58 +0200
-
-I had gnus display a mouse-highlighted line (a URL from browse-url)
-partially at the bottom of its window. If I click with middle mouse
-key on it, the window gets recentered while I hold the mouse key
-pressed. If I release it, the window returns into its old position
-(cursor in top row) and nothing happens, presumably because the click
-was not registered on the line itself, but on the magically
-recentered version.
-
-That is a nuisance. Recentering of even partially visible click
-targets should only happen if window-point moves there, but not at
-the time of the click. From the moment I hold down a key until it
-gets released, the displayed window portion should not change, with
-the sole exception of scrolling when dragging at the edge of the
-screen.
-
-
-** Can't drag modeline when mouse-autoselect-window is set
-
-From: Klaus Zeitler <kzeitler@lucent.com>
-Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 11:14:49 +0200
-
-1. start emacs -q --no-site-file
-2. set variable mouse-autoselect-window to t
-3. split-window-vertically
-
-now I can drag the modeline only upwards but not downwards
-
-
-** line-spacing and (recenter -1)
-
-From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:07:57 +0900 (JST)
-
-(recenter -1) does not show point at the bottom of the window
-if line-spacing is set to positive integer.
-
-Start emacs -Q, and evaluate below:
-
-(progn
- (setq line-spacing 1)
- (dotimes (i (window-height))
- (insert "\n" (int-to-string i)))
- (recenter -1))
-
-Then, point is displayed at the center of the window.
-But point should be displayed at the bottom of the window like Emacs-21.3.
-
-
-** line-spacing and garbage in fringe
-
-From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:05 +0900 (JST)
-
-Start emacs -Q and evaluate below with C-xC-e:
-
-(let ((lines 2)
- (spacing 1))
- (setq line-spacing spacing
- indicate-buffer-boundaries t)
- (insert (make-string (window-height) ?\n))
- (goto-char (point-min))
- (message (make-string (* (window-width) lines) ?.))
- (scroll-up 1))
-
-then, garbage is displayed in right fringe.
-
-Above code reproduces this bug with
-(frame-parameter nil 'font)
-=> "-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1"
-
-If you use different font, you may need different value of
-`lines' and/or `spacing'.
-
-
-** line-spacing and Electric-pop-up-window
-
-From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:10 +0900 (JST)
-
-Electric-pop-up-window does not work well
-if truncate long lines disabled and/or
-`line-spacing' is set to positive integer.
-
-For example, start emacs -Q --line-spacing 1, and type M-` .
-Then, the last line of *Completions* buffer is not visible.
-
-fit-window-to-buffer works well for me, so I guess
-Electric-pop-up-window can use it.

+
+** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors:
+
+Message-Id: <4121-Tue23Mar2004165249+0100-piet@cs.uu.nl>
+From: "Piet van Oostrum" <piet@cs.uu.nl>
+To: emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org
+Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback
+
+Symptoms:
+
+C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/
+
+The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
+router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
+
+ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
+Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
+ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
+Trying 192.87.102.36...
+Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.
+
+Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
+further.
+
+I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
+time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
