That's no problem because first, as mentioned before, we have an alternative implementation in place and second, a fix in CVS Emacs won't help us with Emacs 21 in case there are the same problems. > Note, tho, that as a user I'd be at least perplexed if clicking on the > menubar didn't open the menu immediately but instead proceeded to first > give me a prompt asking me to enter the name of the master file.

Besides, the implementation lead to strange effects on Emacs 21 (Xaw toolkit). I got a "Minibuf" menu with menu entries from the LaTeX menu because the minibuffer was activated for the master file question while the LaTeX menu was open. Alternatively Emacs simply segfaulted. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list Emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
