16 | ** Investigate face cache related crash. | |
17 | ||
c0a070c1 KS |
18 | Indications: Face cache seems to have been cleared, but |
19 | redisplay uses an invalidated face_id with FACE_FROM_ID | |
20 | which then returns a NULL pointer. Said to happen with | |
21 | isearch faces. | |

39 | * REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS | |
40 | ||
41 | ** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay. | |
42 | ||
43 | Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g. | |
44 | (space 'left-margin) | |
45 | ||
46 | A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error | |
47 | is encountered. | |
48 | ||
49 | ** Problem with cursor border around images and window-margins: | |
50 | ||
51 | The border around the image when the cursor is on the image | |
52 | flows into the right fringe and margin. | |
53 | ||
54 | (progn | |
55 | (auto-image-file-mode 1) | |
56 | (find-file (concat data-directory "splash.xpm")) | |
57 | (set-window-margins (selected-window) 25 25)) | |
58 | ||
59 | ||
60 | ** Problem with modeline and window margins: | |
61 | ||
62 | The mode line's right "box" line is misplaced under the right margin, | |
63 | rather than at the right window edge. | |

70 | ** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up | |
71 | ||
72 | From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net> | |
73 | Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200 | |
74 | ||
75 | 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file. | |
76 | ||
77 | 2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'. | |
78 | ||
79 | 3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face | |
80 | a. check width and give it the value `narrow'; | |
81 | b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt; | |
82 | c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored'); | |
83 | d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored'). | |
84 | ||
85 | 4. Set for current session. | |
86 | ||
87 | 5. Invoke Ediff on any two files. | |
88 | ||
89 | 6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU. | |
90 | ||
91 | The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to | |
92 | induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a | |
93 | problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater | |
94 | there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the | |
95 | bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less). | |
96 | ||
97 | I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing | |
98 | I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill | |
99 | when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens | |
100 | within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After | |
101 | interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example: | |

106 | ** Mouse-face overlay bleeds into header line | |
107 | ||
108 | From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net> | |
109 | Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 18:11:01 +0200 | |
110 | ||
111 | Mouse-face overlays bleed into the header line when the beginning of | |
112 | the overlay is above (point-min). To reproduce: | |
113 | ||
114 | 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file. | |
115 | ||
116 | 2. In *scratch* eval (setq ov (make-overlay 66 92)), (overlay-put ov | |
117 | 'mouse-face 'highlight), and (setq header-line-format "test"). | |
118 | ||
119 | 3. Drag the mouse over the string "evaluation.\n;; If you want" and | |
120 | notice the highlighting of only this string. | |
121 | ||
122 | 4. Now click on the down arrow in the scroll bar until the line | |
123 | beginning ";; If you want" is directly below the header line. | |
124 | ||
125 | 5. Drag the mouse over ";; If you want" and notice that not only it | |
126 | but also the header line are highlighted. | |
127 | ||
128 | ||
129 | ** scroll-preserve-screen-position doesn't work with a header-line-format | |
130 | ||
131 | From: jbyler+emacs-lists@anon41.eml.cc | |
132 | Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 17:10:14 -0400 | |
133 | ||
134 | There seems to be an off-by-one error triggered by using a header line | |
135 | together with scroll-preserve-screen-position. The symptom: instead of | |
136 | staying in the same position on the screen when scrolling, the cursor | |
137 | moves one screen line down each time the buffer is scrolled. Put | |
138 | another way: repeatedly typing C-v M-v or using a mouse scroll wheel to | |
139 | scroll up and down causes the cursor to migrate slowly down the screen | |
140 | instead of staying put as it should. | |
141 | ||
142 | To reproduce: | |
143 | ||
144 | emacs -q --no-site-file | |
145 | (setq scroll-preserve-screen-position t) | |
146 | (setq header-line-format "") | |
147 | C-v M-v C-v M-v C-v M-v etc. | |

150 | ** Clicking on partially visible lines fails | |
151 | ||
152 | From: David Kastrup <dak@gnu.org> | |
153 | Date: 27 Apr 2004 16:42:58 +0200 | |

e84fe274 KS |
155 | I had gnus display a mouse-highlighted line (a URL from browse-url) |
156 | partially at the bottom of its window. If I click with middle mouse | |
157 | key on it, the window gets recentered while I hold the mouse key | |
158 | pressed. If I release it, the window returns into its old position | |
159 | (cursor in top row) and nothing happens, presumably because the click | |
160 | was not registered on the line itself, but on the magically | |
161 | recentered version. | |
162 | ||
163 | That is a nuisance. Recentering of even partially visible click | |
164 | targets should only happen if window-point moves there, but not at | |
165 | the time of the click. From the moment I hold down a key until it | |
166 | gets released, the displayed window portion should not change, with | |
167 | the sole exception of scrolling when dragging at the edge of the | |
168 | screen. | |
169 | ||

171 | ** Can't drag modeline when mouse-autoselect-window is set | |
172 | ||
173 | From: Klaus Zeitler <kzeitler@lucent.com> | |
174 | Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 11:14:49 +0200 | |
175 | ||
176 | 1. start emacs -q --no-site-file | |
177 | 2. set variable mouse-autoselect-window to t | |
178 | 3. split-window-vertically | |
179 | ||
180 | now I can drag the modeline only upwards but not downwards | |
181 | ||
182 | ||
183 | ** line-spacing and (recenter -1) | |
184 | ||
185 | From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net> | |
186 | Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:07:57 +0900 (JST) | |
187 | ||
188 | (recenter -1) does not show point at the bottom of the window | |
189 | if line-spacing is set to positive integer. | |
190 | ||
191 | Start emacs -Q, and evaluate below: | |
192 | ||
193 | (progn | |
194 | (setq line-spacing 1) | |
195 | (dotimes (i (window-height)) | |
196 | (insert "\n" (int-to-string i))) | |
197 | (recenter -1)) | |
198 | ||
199 | Then, point is displayed at the center of the window. | |
200 | But point should be displayed at the bottom of the window like Emacs-21.3. | |
201 | ||
202 | ||
203 | ** line-spacing and garbage in fringe | |
204 | ||
205 | From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net> | |
206 | Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:05 +0900 (JST) | |
207 | ||
208 | Start emacs -Q and evaluate below with C-xC-e: | |
209 | ||
210 | (let ((lines 2) | |
211 | (spacing 1)) | |
212 | (setq line-spacing spacing | |
213 | indicate-buffer-boundaries t) | |
214 | (insert (make-string (window-height) ?\n)) | |
215 | (goto-char (point-min)) | |
216 | (message (make-string (* (window-width) lines) ?.)) | |
217 | (scroll-up 1)) | |
218 | ||
219 | then, garbage is displayed in right fringe. | |
220 | ||
221 | Above code reproduces this bug with | |
222 | (frame-parameter nil 'font) | |
223 | => "-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1" | |
224 | ||
225 | If you use different font, you may need different value of | |
226 | `lines' and/or `spacing'. | |
227 | ||
228 | ||
229 | ** line-spacing and Electric-pop-up-window | |
230 | ||
231 | From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net> | |
232 | Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:10 +0900 (JST) | |
233 | ||
234 | Electric-pop-up-window does not work well | |
235 | if truncate long lines disabled and/or | |
236 | `line-spacing' is set to positive integer. | |
237 | ||
238 | For example, start emacs -Q --line-spacing 1, and type M-` . | |
239 | Then, the last line of *Completions* buffer is not visible. | |
240 | ||
241 | fit-window-to-buffer works well for me, so I guess | |
242 | Electric-pop-up-window can use it. | |
