1 Tasks needed before the next release.
5 ** Test the mbox branch of Rmail.
7 ** Install the mbox branch of Rmail.
11 ** Let mouse-1 follow links.
13 ** Make Rmail find the best version of movemail.
14 To be done by Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@Mirddin.farlep.net>.
16 ** Make VC-over-Tramp work where possible, or at least fail
17 gracefully if something isn't supported over Tramp.
18 To be done by Andre Spiegel <spiegel@gnu.org>.
22 ** Investigate face cache related crash.
24 Indications: Face cache seems to have been cleared, but
25 redisplay uses an invalidated face_id with FACE_FROM_ID
26 which then returns a NULL pointer. Said to happen with
29 ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
31 ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
32 invalid pointer from string_free_list.
37 ** Clean up flymake.el to follow Emacs Lisp conventions.
41 ** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
44 * REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS
46 ** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay.
48 Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
51 A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
54 ** Problem with cursor border around images and window-margins:
56 The border around the image when the cursor is on the image
57 flows into the right fringe and margin.

75 ** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
77 From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>

80 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
82 2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
84 3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
85 a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
86 b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
87 c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
88 d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
90 4. Set for current session.
92 5. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
94 6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
96 The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
97 induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
98 problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
99 there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
100 bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
102 I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
103 I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
104 when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
105 within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
106 interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:

111 ** line-spacing and Electric-pop-up-window
113 From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
114 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:10 +0900 (JST)
116 Electric-pop-up-window does not work well
117 if truncate long lines disabled and/or
118 `line-spacing' is set to positive integer.
120 For example, start emacs -Q --line-spacing 1, and type M-` .
121 Then, the last line of *Completions* buffer is not visible.
123 fit-window-to-buffer works well for me, so I guess
124 Electric-pop-up-window can use it.
127 ** Partial highlighting of wrapped overlay
129 From: Ralf Angeli <angeli@iwi.uni-sb.de>
130 Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 19:09:19 +0200
134 (let* ((length (+ (- (window-width) (current-column)) 40))
136 (end (+ (point) length))
137 (string (make-string length ?x))
140 (setq ov (make-overlay start end))
141 (overlay-put ov 'mouse-face 'highlight)
142 (overlay-put ov 'display string))
144 into the *scratch* buffer and type `C-x C-e' with point at the last
145 parenthesis, you will get a string which does not fit into the line
146 and has to be wrapped. If you move over it with your mouse, you
147 should see that only the part on the second line is being highlighted.
148 The full string is highlighted only if the 'display property is not
