I have seen the symptom of buffering problems when running gnu under X on sun OS 3.0, which goes away for OS 3.2. It also goes away if I startup gnu by hand from the xterm window, e.g. by saying emacs -i & It occurs for me when I try to start up gnu automatically from the script file which I use to start X, and only under OS 3.0. I would like to understand what is going on, also. -------

I have seen the partial re-display bug problem on Sun 3.2 with GNU 18.38, and can verify that it works just fine when started from an xterm window, but loses from uwm. I also find that it only consistently happens if the mouse cursor is moved out of the gnu window (poping up a uwm window will accomplish this). Also doesn't seem to lose minibuffer output. For example if I do a save file and then move the mouse out of the emacs window, I'll get the "Wrote ..." message but the "**" in modeline won't go away until I give emacs some input. Or if I do a "g" in RMAIL, I'll get the "Counting new messages ... done (N)", "Wrote ...", and "N new messages", but the first new message doesn't get displayed until I move mouse cursor to the emacs window and type something ... -- Jon
