39 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
40 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
41 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.
43 ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
44 (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)
46 ** make-network-process :nowait t doesn't work for non-local targets

53 ** Need papers from Rubini for his code in t-mouse.el
56 ** lennart.borgman.073@student.lu.se, Dec 21:

77 How global is a define-global-minor-mode mode
78 He says that customizing such a mode simply does not work.
79 RMS says that there is no code in the generated defcustom,
80 or elsewhere in the generated code, to implement setting that variable
81 through the custom mechanism.
83 ** b.riefenstahl@turtle-trading.net, Dec 29:
84 GTK build crashes under X
86 ** dooglus@gmail.com, Dec 29: 4 week-old pretest bugs

93 ** sgml-xml-auto-coding-function should detect that HTML-like start text
94 isn't really at the start of the file.

101 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
102 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
103 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying
104 conditions", likewise in the respective language.
106 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
107 names of the people who have checked it.
