ding - too often (OS X and in general)

2005-05-23 Thread David Reitter
Why does Emacs ring the bell upon user-initiated abort actions? For example, when I press cancel in the file dialog that pops up when a user selects find-file on OS X from the menu, it gives me a (ding), and as a user I wonder what went wrong, why did an error occur? I just canceled a find-f

Segmentation violation in display_string

CVS Emacs dated 2005-05-23 often crashes with segmentation violation. I'm sorry, I don't know a way how to reproduce the bug and it happens on a computer of another user. But I have remote access to gdb on that computer, so I can provide information about Emacs state after the crash. The backtrac

Composing decomposed glyphs in UTF-8 filenames

2005-05-23 Thread Peter Dyballa
Hello! When GNU Emacs 23 runs in xterm or Apple's Terminal it can't correctly compose the decomposed glyphs in UTF-8 file names of Mac OS X. The diacritic marks are lost, only the US-ASCII base glyph are left. The same is true when I run the ls command in Emacs shell buffer. GNU Emacs 22.0.50

Quitting rings the bell because you do it with the bell character, C-g. Also, it works by causing something almost indistiguishable from an error. I see no reason to change this. ___ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list Emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://list
