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

45 | ** Ange-ftp should ignore irrelevant IPv6 errors: |
46 | ||
47 | Message-Id: <4121-Tue23Mar2004165249+0100-piet@cs.uu.nl> | |
48 | From: "Piet van Oostrum" <piet@cs.uu.nl> | |
49 | To: emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org | |
50 | Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback | |
51 | ||
52 | Symptoms: | |
53 | ||
54 | C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/ | |
55 | ||
56 | The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our | |
57 | router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4: | |
58 | ||
59 | ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl | |
60 | Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36... | |
61 | ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host | |
62 | Trying 192.87.102.36... | |
63 | Connected to ftp.nluug.nl. | |
64 | ||
65 | Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any | |
32c544b5 | 66 | further. |
d3a403e5 SM |
67 | |
68 | I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be | |
69 | time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent. | |

92 | It is not specific for the first line of a buffer. | |
93 | ||
94 | Rather it happens for lines which are indented but the | |
95 | indentation is controlled by a display property and | |
96 | the newline is part of that display property -- in | |
97 | that case, the indentation is not recognized for the | |
98 | first display line. | |

101 | ** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay. |
102 | ||
103 | Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g. | |
104 | (space 'left-margin) | |
105 | ||
106 | A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error | |
107 | is encountered. | |

120 | ** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up | |
121 | ||
122 | From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net> | |
123 | Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200 | |
124 | ||
125 | 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file. | |
126 | ||
127 | 2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'. | |
128 | ||
129 | 3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face | |
130 | a. check width and give it the value `narrow'; | |
131 | b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt; | |
132 | c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored'); | |
133 | d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored'). | |
134 | ||
135 | 4. Set for current session. | |
136 | ||
137 | 5. Invoke Ediff on any two files. | |
138 | ||
139 | 6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU. | |
140 | ||
141 | The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to | |
142 | induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a | |
143 | problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater | |
144 | there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the | |
145 | bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less). | |
146 | ||
147 | I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing | |
148 | I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill | |
149 | when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens | |
150 | within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After | |
151 | interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example: | |

156 | ** Partial highlighting of wrapped overlay |
157 | ||
158 | From: Ralf Angeli <angeli@iwi.uni-sb.de> | |
159 | Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 19:09:19 +0200 | |
160 | ||
161 | If you put | |
162 | ||
163 | (let* ((length (+ (- (window-width) (current-column)) 40)) | |
164 | (start (point)) | |
165 | (end (+ (point) length)) | |
166 | (string (make-string length ?x)) | |
167 | ov) | |
168 | (insert string) | |
169 | (setq ov (make-overlay start end)) | |
170 | (overlay-put ov 'mouse-face 'highlight) | |
171 | (overlay-put ov 'display string)) | |
172 | ||
173 | into the *scratch* buffer and type `C-x C-e' with point at the last | |
174 | parenthesis, you will get a string which does not fit into the line | |
175 | and has to be wrapped. If you move over it with your mouse, you | |
176 | should see that only the part on the second line is being highlighted. | |
177 | The full string is highlighted only if the 'display property is not | |
178 | set. | |
