Yes. That’s because I yanked the wrong charset from charset.h when porting
the code from XEmacs, and the attempt to create two-dimensional character in
JISX0201 fails, as it should, since JISX0201 is a one-dimensional character
set. 

The code as intended, doesn’t trigger the message. As it was written, to my
discredit, it did.

This function is about transformation from an external format to the
editor’s internal format. Which is a big part of what coding systems do. So
some parallels in our approach is reasonable.

Perhaps, indeed.

dired listing is case-sensitive on MS Windows

2006-06-18 Thread Drew Adams
emacs -Q on MS Windows

Dired a directory with both uppercase and lowercase file names. The
uppercase names all appear before any lowercase names. MS Windows is
case-insensitive for file and directory names, so Dired should respect
that, by default: an alphabetic listing should pay no attention to
letter case.

You have the `ls-lisp-ignore-case' option to get what you want (and
`ls-lisp-dirs-first' if you are used to see the directories first, as
in the Windows Explorer).

As for changing the default, I disagree: I'm used to look for

Well, we disagree about the default behavior. I don't care about this for my
own use.

I think that the default behavior for MS Windows users should be
case-insensitive. People who have other habits (;-)) or special needs such
as you describe can use `ls-lisp-ignore-case' to adjust.

The default behavior on Windows should be geared to the average (even the
novice) Windows user. That user will expect 1) directories first and 2) case
insensitivity for names.

Customize value menu doesn't recognize mouse-2

2006-06-18 Thread Drew Adams
emacs -Q

M-x customize-variable ad-default-compilation-action

Click mouse-2 on button Value Menu. The menu opens. Try to click
mouse-2 on a menu item - the action is unrecognized.

Mouse-2 can be used to click any links and buttons. However, if you
use it to open the Value Menu, then you cannot also use it to choose
an item in the menu. Mouse-2 should be usable for all actions,
including choosing a menu item. 

More precisely, if a mouse button opens a menu, then it should also
choose from it. If you don't want mouse-2 to choose from the menu,
then it should not be able to open the menu either. I would prefer
that mouse-2 be able to do both, but if it can do neither, then that
is acceptable.

default-frame-alist apparently overriding font from minibuffer-frame-alist

2006-06-18 Thread Glen Whitney
> Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the  
precise symptoms of the bug:


Dear Emacs maintainers and/or Mr. Zenitani,

Here is the entire contents of my .emacs file:

(setq minibuffer-frame-alist
  '((font . "-apple-arial-medium-r-normal--18-*-*-*-*-*-mac- 
roman"))

  )
(setq default-frame-alist
  '((minibuffer)
;;; BUG: 22.0.50.1 Carbon Emacs Package 20060617 following line
;;;  overrides value in minibuffer-frame-alist
(font . "-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-mac-roman")
)
  )

If I start up emacs reading this .emacs file, it creates a separate  
main frame and minibuffer frame, as expected, but the font in *both*  
windows is courier.  I believe that is a bug, as the Emacs internal  
documentation on the variable "minibuffer-frame-alist" explicitly  
states that:


Parameters specified here supersede the values given in
`default-frame-alist', for a minibuffer frame.

Note that I need not take any action in the emacs after it starts up  
to observe the issue, as there is a remaining log message in the  
minibuffer, so the font it's using is directly observable.


If on the other hand, I comment out the line with containing  
"courier"  in the .emacs file and restart emacs, the minibuffer comes  
up with the arial font, as expected, and the main frame comes up with  
some system default font.  I can fix that first window with initial- 
frame-alist without disturbing the minibuffer, but then subsequent  
frames I create have the ugly system font.


I am using the latest test build of the Carbon Emacs package, based  
on Gnu Emacs 22.0.50 CVS dated 20060607, available on the web at  
http://homepage.mac.com/zenitani/emacs-e.html


I also observed the bug in exactly the same way on the version of  
Emacs available via the "Fink" system on Mac OS X as of a few weeks ago.


My apologies if this is a repeat posting of the bug, but I could not  
find any way to search open pretest bug reports.


Sincerely yours,

Weird interaction between `move-beginning-of-line', fields, and invisible overlays

2006-06-18 Thread Jorgen Schaefer
Hello!
When using a prompt in a buffer with a field property,
`move-beginning-of-line' will move to the end of the prompt, not
the beginning of the line - unless the line before the field is
made invisible by an overlay.

To reproduce (tested in emacs -D -Q):

(with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Test*")
  (let ((inhibit-read-only t))
(erase-buffer))
  (insert "At this prompt, `move-beginning-of-line' stays behind the prompt.\n"
  "This is the expected behavior.\n"
  (propertize "Bar> "
  'field 'fnord
  'read-only t
  'rear-nonsticky t))
  (insert "\n\nHere, it moves to the beginning the prompt.\n")
  (let ((beg (point)))
(insert "Fnord!\n")
(let ((o (make-overlay beg (point
  (overlay-put o 'invisible t)))
  (insert (propertize "Bar> "
  'field 'fnord
  'read-only t
  'rear-nonsticky t))
  (switch-to-buffer "*Test*")
  (goto-char (point-max)))

When this came up here, most Windows users on this list disagreed with
you.

That doesn't make them right.

Default values should be those expected by users, including novices - those
values most appropriate to users who will not think to customize Emacs.

People "on this list" (pretest-bug?) can customize to get the values they
prefer - myself included. We are not representative of the average Emacs
user on Windows, let alone new Windows users.

If, as on Windows, no distinction is made between file names FOOBAR and
foobar, then why should the former be way near the top of the dired listing
and the latter be way near the bottom? Why should fooBar2 come before
foobar1? If you are unsure of the letter case (irrelevant to Windows,
anyway), then you must _search_ to find a file, instead of just picking it
out alphabetically.

 "I'm used to look for upper-case file names near the beginning
 of the directory listing, like they are on Unix."

People who work with Dired listings that way on Windows must have some
special consideration in mind. That is not the way people are used to
working with file listings in Windows (e.g. Windows Explorer). Windows users
are used to looking for file names in alphabetic order, without distinction
of letter case.

Why look for a file in multiple places, depending on the case of its name?
FOOBAR, Foobar, and foobar are the same thing (a priori) to Windows.

That said, this is not a new bug - the same behavior is in Emacs 20, alas.

This is by design. ignore is a special value, meaning fall back on the
previous (now obsolete) way of doing it, which used different
variables. The available customize values represent the new way of

Sorry, I don't understand. How is a user supposed to use this or understand
it? Should users not try to customize this option? If they shouldn't, then
we should not enable customization for this variable at all. If they should,
then how do they do so?

If something about this has been deprecated, shouldn't the user be informed
of that in Customize?

If the default value causes Customize to somehow fall back to something that
is obsolete, isn't that a bug? Why should the default behavior call upon
something that is obsolete?

Sorry, I really don't understand what you are saying.

Looking at the doc string, presumably there should be a Value Menu that lets
you choose (only) valid values. There is no such menu.

I don't claim that this *should* be the case, but we *might* want to make

consistent with what customize-face does.

In any case, users should not see a Customize buffer for nil.

Sorry, I did not read carefully enough the first time. I see custom

Maybe not, but people here and on emacs-devel do influence Emacs
development.

Anyway, we had this discussion almost exactly a year ago (in July
2005, to be exact).  There really isn't anything to be said that
wasn't already said then.  Let's not waste any more time by
reiterating the same arguments.

> That said, this is not a new bug - the same behavior is in Emacs 20, alas.

Also mentioned in past discussions: ls-lisp behaved like that since
day one (which was in Emacs 19).  Back then, we didn't have the
customizable options we have today that can be used to get the
Explorer-like behavior.

RE: appt-display-format has bad Customize default and no value menu

2006-06-18 Thread Drew Adams
Sorry, I did not read carefully enough the first time. I see custom
barfs if I have a default value which is not in the allowed value
list. I guess I will have to add 'ignore to the allowed value list. I
wanted to avoid this because I specifically wanted people to have to
choose any of the other settings when they customized this variable.
Maybe I'm going about this wrong...

I don't understand the problem you tried to describe, so I can't offer any
help with it. But whatever you do, there should be a Value Menu of possible
values. Thx.

I'm afraid the above information is not too useful for debugging.  I
think the "Reporting Bugs" section in Emacs info is good to read.

Are you using a "distribution" of precompiled Carbon Emacs?  Then,
please try the latest CVS if possible in order to rule out the
possibility of:

  * The bug is already fixed (2006-03-22 is rather old.)

  * Some local changes in the "distribution" affect the unstableness.

Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Overlay string not displayed on text with `display' property]

Yes, thanks.  Here are two cases:

* Case 1: The before-string is shown twice.
; emacs -Q -D
(setq overlay (make-overlay 1 3))
(overlay-put overlay 'before-string (propertize "BE" 'face 'bold))
(overlay-put overlay 'after-string (propertize "AF" 'display 
 (propertize "XY" 'face 'underline)))
(put-text-property 1 3 'display (compose-string "DISP"))


* Case 2: Cursor at a wrong position.
; emacs -q -D  ;; not `-Q' in order to show a message in *scratch*
(setq overlay (make-overlay 1 3))
(overlay-put overlay 'before-string (propertize "BEFORE_STRING" 'face 'bold))
(overlay-put overlay 'after-string (propertize "AF" 'display 
 (propertize "XY" 'face 'underline)))
(put-text-property 1 3 'invisible t)
;; make sure that the first line is wrapped
