Known bugs in 20.2.1: * set-face-font is broken (because query-fontset doesn't exist). Hopefully we'll be able to use the work done in Meadow to support the new font system in 20. * Sometimes when opening a file the buffer is in read-only mode. The files in question are stored in a CVS repository so I suspect that there is a problem with vc.el. (Anders Lindgren ) * Select the font menu and immediately close the window when appearing. (I think that I saw this problem in Emacs 19 as well. Anders Lindgren ) Signaling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil) modify-frame-parameters(# ((font))) set-default-font(nil) mouse-set-font() call-interactively(mouse-set-font) * Carriage returns (^Ms) at the end of mail messages when using epop3mail.el. Download version 0.9 of epop3mail from the FAQ (2/28/98). * The patch to epop3mail strips the carriage returns, but gnus cannot find new messages in the rmail file.

"white") (cursor-type . box) (face-foreground 'modeline "black") (face-background 'modeline "white"))) * hideshow.el reports error messages when byte-compiling files (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'hs-minor-mode) ... File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument listp t) (lektu@lander.es (Juanma Barranquero)) * The rightmost characters are redrawn when the line is wrapped on the screen. To Repeat: Start emacs. Resize the window small enough so a line is continued. Overlay the Emacs window with another application. Alt-Tab back to Emacs. Notice that the 2 right most characters are redrawn. Hit Ctrl-L to refresh the screen and they reappear. ("Kevin Greiner" ) * Syntax highlighting does not seem to work correctly with // comments in C++ and Java modes ("Dmitry Yaitskov" ) * ksh now echoes ^Ms in interactive shells. (William L Anderson ) * Emacs ignores WM_GETMINMAXINFO minimum tracking size. ("Juanma Barranquero" ) * When closing down, Emacs causes the icons in the system tray to disappear. Happens every two or three times. Not necessarily related to Emacs, more likely IE4.01. (Chris Searle ) * Loading the standard package msb.el (a customized mouse-buffer-menu) and then activating msb-sort-files-by-directory causes NTEmacs to hang if you open two files in different drives. (lektu@lander.es (Juanma Barranquero)) * A bug in expand-file-name: (expand-file-name "//marshall/homes/Gnu/foo.bar" "/ike:/home/lsmith/temp/boo.bar") "marshall/homes/Gnu/foo.bar" If I'm in the buffer of a file named //marshall/homes/foo.bar and type C-x d /ike:/home/lsmith and I get the following: /ike:/home/lsmith/marshall/homes/home/lsmith: /home/lsmith/marshall/homes/home/lsmith/.: No such file or directory When I'm in a buffer for /ike:foo.bam, and do C-x d //marshall/homes/Gnu, I get Use C-u M-x make-dir RET RET to create directory and its parents (Larry Smith ) * The Exceed rgb.txt file confuses Emacs (e.g., when placed in your HOME directory). ("Lolo LaSida" ) * (Vardhan@BitSmart.Com) 1. frequently, while trying to kill a buffer message appears: >> Selecting deleted buffer and buffer is not deleted. 2.when rmail gets new mail ( from linux pop server ), it says "args out of range [#) To reproduce the bug: - use Control Panel->Keyboard->Input Locales to install an international keyboard layout that has "dead-keys", such as German(Standard). A dead-key is a key that will delay producing a character until it sees the next key you type; it's used to add various accents to certain characters. - set another application (e.g. Internet Explorer) to use the international layout (e.g. German Standard) - set Emacs to use the US-english layout - hit a "dead-key" in the other application, such as "^", which on the German keyboard is to the left of the US 1-key. - switch the focus to Emacs and hit any key, such as a 'q' On my system, Emacs just "goes away" - an immediate crash/shutdown. * (andy.ling@quantel.co) When I run ediff the control window appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. Looking at ediff-wind.el it uses the top and left frame parameters to calculate where to put this window. * ediff and mode-line inverse video ("Yun-Fong Loh" ) I'm getting a weird side effect after using ediff with 20.2.1. That is, if I use C-x 5 2 (or C-x 5 f) to open a new frame after I use ediff-files, the mode line for that new frame is not in inverse video. I tried playing with mode-line-inverse-video but it only affects the frames that were opened before I used ediff. * fill-paragraph marks the buffer as changed when it does nothing ("Callaway, Dave" )
