Re: find-file sometimes doesn't
Richard M. Stallman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In the last week, sometimes maybe 1 in 20 times, C-x C-f (find-file) RET won't find the given file. However, the symptom is that if I'm editing buffer foo, and run find-file to open file bar, instead of getting two equally-sized windows containing foo and bar, I get two foo windows, one of which is only three lines high. If you delete the second window and try again, does it fail again? It's very sporadic. So far, the second time I use find-file on the file, it succeeds normally. Coincidentally in the last week, I've noticed that when Emacs starts, instead of the splash screen taking up the entire frame, the last buffer edited (I use desktop) appears, with a small GNU Emacs window at the bottom saying to use C-l to start editing. The coincidence is that this small window is also three lines and is accompanied by the same light show as I mentioned above. Is this reproducible? If so, can you please debug it? As soon as I can reproduce it, I will. Perhaps it is tickled by something odd in the desktop file, much like some buffer causes the Gnus buffers not to highlight properly (at least we know in that case it's a buffer that uses hilite (?)). -- Bill Wohler [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.

Re: CUA mode: C-S-c as prefix does not work
Ralf Angeli [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: ;; If you really need to perform a command which starts with one of ;; the prefix keys even when the region is active, you have three options: ;; - press the prefix key twice very quickly (within 0.2 seconds), ;; - press the prefix key and the following key within 0.2 seconds, or ;; - use the SHIFT key with the prefix key, i.e. C-X or C-C The last option does not seem to work (at least with the examples I tried). As an example, Thanks. I have installed a fix. By the way, it would probably be a good idea to move the documentation which can be found in cua-base.el to the Emacs manual which already contains a section about CUA mode. RMS is concerned about the size of the (printed) Emacs Manual, so I think the description of cua-mode in the Emacs manual is sufficient as is (I already expanded it compared to what was there originally). But cua-mode definitely deserves a manual (cua.texi) on its own to describe all of its features. I will probably write it eventually, but if anybody would like to write it (or just start drafting a manual for it), I would appreciate it very much. Of course, I will help as much as I can... -- Kim F.

build failure on Irix 6.5/gcc
I've reported the longstanding failure to build on Irix 6.5 before, and I assume you're not interested. However, I'm going to lose access to the platform, so I'm reporting the currently-working solution. Also experience suggests the same issue will bite GNU systems eventually. Building with gcc 3.4, it segvs when dumping due to the usual unexec lossage. unexelf.c needs to copy the additional sections .data.rel and .data.rel.local. Entries in gcc 3.4's varasm.c suggest it should also copy .data.rel.ro, .data.rel.ro.local, .tdata, .sdata2 and .tbss; an expert should comment on that, though. There are warnings that the definitions of XUINT, XSET in iris4d.h are clobbered by lisp.h. I don't know what should happen about those. Also, this config should not have NO_REMAP defined (in iris4d.h, where it could be conditional on IRIX6_5) and it should define GC_SETJMP_WORKS and GC_MARK_STACK in irix6-5.h as in irix6-0.h. (I don't understand how I left it in that state, but all the config system is so messy it's easy to do.) I assume NO_REMAP should also be undefined on GNU MIPS systems (and others?). ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
Re: Re: SPC no longer completes when minibuffer-completing-file-name is t
Stefan Monnier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Emacs now inserts a space when trying to complete an MH-E folder (for example, when visiting a folder or refiling a message). Not when trying to complete: when hitting SPC. It used to be that SPC tried to complete, but now (when entering file names), it doesn't complete any more. Use TAB. Thanks. At first I was incredulous to hear it but then I found this in NEWS which explains the rationale. ** When Emacs prompts for file names, SPC no longer completes the file name. This is so filenames with embedded spaces could be input without the need to quote the space with a C-q. The underlying changes in the keymaps that are active in the minibuffer are described below under New keymaps for typing file names. In your opinion, should we be setting minibuffer-completing-file-name to t when calling completing-read to complete mail folders? I suspect that we do since folders are essentially files and can also contain spaces (I just checked--MH doesn't appear to barf if you create a folder with spaces). If not, what would we need to do to get the proper character to highlight? If minibuffer-completing-file-name is nil, then the highlighting is one character to the right of where it should be. -- Bill Wohler [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
