37 * WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS.
38 These don't need to be fixed to start pretest, but we call the
39 attention of Windows users to fixing them.
41 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
42 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
43 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.
45 ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
46 (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)
48 ** make-network-process :nowait t doesn't work for non-local targets

57 ** Fix up the notices in oldXMenu properly.

63 How global is a define-global-minor-mode mode

67 through the custom mechanism.

70 Font-lock decides function call is function declaration in C+ +
72 ** ZTHJWSQQAFHV@spammotel.com, Jan 12:

75 ** jka-compr fails when default-directory is nonexistent.
77 ** Tramp fails when default-directory is nonexistent.
81 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
83 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
84 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
85 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying
86 conditions", likewise in the respective language.
88 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
89 names of the people who have checked it.
