28 attention of Windows users to fixing them.
30 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
31 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
32 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.
34 ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
35 (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)
37 ** set-frame-size for frame without minibuffer loses mode line
38 Probably a Windows only bug. Reported by Drew Adams on bug-gnu-emacs on
39 2007-08-07. It seems that the bug manifests itself only if resizing the
40 frame makes the menu bar wrap before. On 2007-08-16 Glenn Morris
41 reported on emacs-devel that he was not able to reproduce the bug on a
44 * BUGS WAITING FOR MORE USER INPUT

47 Report by Daniel C. Bastos <dbast0s@yahoo.com.br> on bug-gnu-emacs
48 from 2007-08-27. Impossible to procede without more input from OP (as
49 of 20070912, emails are bouncing) or someone else who can reproduce this.

74 ** emacs-22.1 with GTK problems (with patches)
75 Only outstanding issue seems to be whether Solaris 2.6 GTK can be
76 supported in the absence of recursive mutexes, via a change to
77 alloc.c, or whether configure should abort.

80 * FIXES FOR EMACS 22.3
82 Here we list any small fixes that arrived too late for Emacs 22.2, but
83 that should be installed on the release branch after 22.2 is released.
87 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
89 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
90 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
91 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying
92 conditions", likewise in the respective language.
94 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
95 names of the people who have checked it.
