37Message-Id: <4121-Tue23Mar2004165249+0100-piet@cs.uu.nl>
38From: "Piet van Oostrum" <piet@cs.uu.nl>
39To: emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org
40Subject: Ange-ftp can't deal with IPV6/IPV4 fallback
41
42Symptoms:
43
44C-x C-f /ftp.nluug.nl:/
45
46The problem is that the DNS first gives an IPV6 address. However our
47router doesn't do IPV6. Ftp then falls back to IPV4:
48
49ftp> open ftp.nluug.nl
50Trying 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36...
51ftp: connect to address 2001:610:1:80aa:192:87:102:36: No route to host
52Trying 192.87.102.36...
53Connected to ftp.nluug.nl.
54
55Ange-ftp chokes on the `No route to host' message and doesn't look any
56further.
57
58I think in the near future we will see more of this problem, so it might be
59time to make anfe-ftp more intelligent.
60
61
62* GTK RELATED BUGS
63
64** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
65
66
67* REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS
68
69** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay.
70
71Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
72 (space 'left-margin)
73
74A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
75is encountered.

77
78** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
79
80From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
81Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200
82
831. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
84
852. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
86
873. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
88 a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
89 b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
90 c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
91 d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
92
934. Set for current session.
94
955. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
96
976. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
98
99The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
100induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
101problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
102there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
103bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
104
105I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
106I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
107when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
108within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
109interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:
110
111Update: Maybe only reveals itself when compiled with GTK+
112
113
114* DOCUMENTATION
115
116** Document Custom Themes.
117
118** Finish updating the Emacs Lisp manual.
119
120** Update the Emacs manual.
121
122*** Update man/info.texi.
123
124*** Update man/ack.texi.
125
126** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
127
128** Update AUTHORS.
129
130** Reorder NEWS entries.
131
132** Check the Emacs manual.
133
134Each manual section should be checked for factual correctness
135regarding recent changes by at least two people. After each file
136name, on the same line or the following line, come the names of the
137people who have checked it.
