70** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
71
72From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
73Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200
74
751. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
76
772. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
78
793. 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
854. Set for current session.
86
875. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
88
896. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
90
91The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
92induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
93problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
94there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
95bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
96
97I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
98I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
99when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
100within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
101interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:

106** Mouse-face overlay bleeds into header line
107
108From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
109Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2004 18:11:01 +0200
110
111Mouse-face overlays bleed into the header line when the beginning of
112the overlay is above (point-min). To reproduce:
113
1141. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
115
1162. In *scratch* eval (setq ov (make-overlay 66 92)), (overlay-put ov
117'mouse-face 'highlight), and (setq header-line-format "test").
118
1193. Drag the mouse over the string "evaluation.\n;; If you want" and
120notice the highlighting of only this string.
121
1224. Now click on the down arrow in the scroll bar until the line
123beginning ";; If you want" is directly below the header line.
124
1255. Drag the mouse over ";; If you want" and notice that not only it
126but also the header line are highlighted.
127
128
129** scroll-preserve-screen-position doesn't work with a header-line-format
130
131From: jbyler+emacs-lists@anon41.eml.cc
132Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 17:10:14 -0400
133
134There seems to be an off-by-one error triggered by using a header line
135together with scroll-preserve-screen-position. The symptom: instead of
136staying in the same position on the screen when scrolling, the cursor
137moves one screen line down each time the buffer is scrolled. Put
138another way: repeatedly typing C-v M-v or using a mouse scroll wheel to
139scroll up and down causes the cursor to migrate slowly down the screen
140instead of staying put as it should.
141
142To reproduce:
143
144emacs -q --no-site-file
145(setq scroll-preserve-screen-position t)
146(setq header-line-format "")
147C-v M-v C-v M-v C-v M-v etc.

150** Clicking on partially visible lines fails
151
152From: David Kastrup <dak@gnu.org>
153Date: 27 Apr 2004 16:42:58 +0200
154
155I had gnus display a mouse-highlighted line (a URL from browse-url)
156partially at the bottom of its window. If I click with middle mouse
157key on it, the window gets recentered while I hold the mouse key
158pressed. If I release it, the window returns into its old position
159(cursor in top row) and nothing happens, presumably because the click
160was not registered on the line itself, but on the magically
161recentered version.
162
163That is a nuisance. Recentering of even partially visible click
164targets should only happen if window-point moves there, but not at
165the time of the click. From the moment I hold down a key until it
166gets released, the displayed window portion should not change, with
167the sole exception of scrolling when dragging at the edge of the
168screen.

171** Can't drag modeline when mouse-autoselect-window is set
172

174Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 11:14:49 +0200
175
1761. start emacs -q --no-site-file
1772. set variable mouse-autoselect-window to t
1783. split-window-vertically
179
180now I can drag the modeline only upwards but not downwards

183** line-spacing and (recenter -1)
184
185From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
186Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:07:57 +0900 (JST)
187
188(recenter -1) does not show point at the bottom of the window
189if line-spacing is set to positive integer.
190
191Start 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
199Then, point is displayed at the center of the window.
200But point should be displayed at the bottom of the window like Emacs-21.3.

203** line-spacing and garbage in fringe
204
205From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
206Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:05 +0900 (JST)
207
208Start 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
219then, garbage is displayed in right fringe.
220
221Above 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
225If you use different font, you may need different value of
226`lines' and/or `spacing'.

229** line-spacing and Electric-pop-up-window
230
231From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
232Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:10 +0900 (JST)
233
234Electric-pop-up-window does not work well
235if truncate long lines disabled and/or
236`line-spacing' is set to positive integer.
237
238For example, start emacs -Q --line-spacing 1, and type M-` .
239Then, the last line of *Completions* buffer is not visible.
240
241fit-window-to-buffer works well for me, so I guess
242Electric-pop-up-window can use it.
