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>.
18 ** Investigate face cache related crash.
20 Indications: Face cache seems to have been cleared, but
21 redisplay uses an invalidated face_id with FACE_FROM_ID
22 which then returns a NULL pointer. Said to happen with
25 ** Investigate reported crashes in compact_small_strings.
27 ** Investigate reported crashes related to using an
28 invalid pointer from string_free_list.
33 ** Clean up flymake.el to follow Emacs Lisp conventions.
37 ** Make GTK scrollbars behave like others w.r.t. overscrolling.
40 * REDISPLAY RELATED BUGS
42 ** Avoid unbreakable loops in redisplay.
44 Redisplay may loop if there is an error in some display property, e.g.
47 A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
50 ** Problem with cursor border around images and window-margins:
52 The border around the image when the cursor is on the image
53 flows into the right fringe and margin.

57 (find-file (concat data-directory "splash.xpm"))
58 (set-window-margins (selected-window) 25 25))
61 ** Problem with modeline and window margins:
63 The mode line's right "box" line is misplaced under the right margin,
64 rather than at the right window edge.

71 ** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
73 From: Stephen Berman <Stephen.Berman@gmx.net>
74 Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2004 02:08:56 +0200
76 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
78 2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
80 3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
81 a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
82 b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
83 c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
84 d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
86 4. Set for current session.
88 5. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
90 6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
92 The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
93 induce this bug. Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
94 problem. Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
95 there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
96 bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
98 I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff. The only thing
99 I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
100 when run in gdb, after interrupting. When the freeze up happens
101 within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback. After
102 interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:
104 Update: Maybe only reveals itself when compiled with GTK+
107 ** Clicking on partially visible lines fails
109 From: David Kastrup <dak@gnu.org>
110 Date: 27 Apr 2004 16:42:58 +0200
112 I had gnus display a mouse-highlighted line (a URL from browse-url)
113 partially at the bottom of its window. If I click with middle mouse
114 key on it, the window gets recentered while I hold the mouse key
115 pressed. If I release it, the window returns into its old position
116 (cursor in top row) and nothing happens, presumably because the click
117 was not registered on the line itself, but on the magically
120 That is a nuisance. Recentering of even partially visible click
121 targets should only happen if window-point moves there, but not at
122 the time of the click. From the moment I hold down a key until it
123 gets released, the displayed window portion should not change, with
124 the sole exception of scrolling when dragging at the edge of the
128 ** Can't drag modeline when mouse-autoselect-window is set
130 From: Klaus Zeitler <kzeitler@lucent.com>
131 Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2004 11:14:49 +0200
133 1. start emacs -q --no-site-file
134 2. set variable mouse-autoselect-window to t
135 3. split-window-vertically
137 now I can drag the modeline only upwards but not downwards
140 ** line-spacing and (recenter -1)
142 From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
143 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:07:57 +0900 (JST)
145 (recenter -1) does not show point at the bottom of the window
146 if line-spacing is set to positive integer.
148 Start emacs -Q, and evaluate below:
151 (setq line-spacing 1)
152 (dotimes (i (window-height))
153 (insert "\n" (int-to-string i)))
156 Then, point is displayed at the center of the window.
157 But point should be displayed at the bottom of the window like Emacs-21.3.
160 ** line-spacing and Electric-pop-up-window
162 From: SAITO Takuya <tabmore@rivo.mediatti.net>
163 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 02:08:10 +0900 (JST)
165 Electric-pop-up-window does not work well
166 if truncate long lines disabled and/or
167 `line-spacing' is set to positive integer.
169 For example, start emacs -Q --line-spacing 1, and type M-` .
170 Then, the last line of *Completions* buffer is not visible.
172 fit-window-to-buffer works well for me, so I guess
173 Electric-pop-up-window can use it.
178 ** Document Custom Themes.
180 ** Finish updating the Emacs Lisp manual.
182 ** Update the Emacs manual.
184 *** Update man/info.texi.
186 *** Update man/ack.texi.
188 ** Add missing years in copyright notices of all files.
192 ** Reorder NEWS entries.
194 ** Check the Emacs manual.
196 Each manual section should be proof-read by at least two people.
