This is kind of pointless to report as far as getting it fixed, but I would like to warn people in case the problem is more widespread than just us. Emacs hangs without response if you try to use the C-SHFT-Left Button menus compiled with oldXmenu. It didn't used to -- but now, in 18.54, Sun0S 4.0.1, X11R3 fixes 1 through 9 and Sun 3/50s, it is hanging here. Thank heaven for auto-save. The interesting thing to note is that it apparently worked fine in 18.53 with all of the set-up mentioned above (I _think_ ... maybe not the fix1-fix9). The only way to deal with it, apparently, is to kill the process. On a semi-related note, has anyone else had a problem with leaving their X Emacs windows alone for extended periods of time? As in this scenario: I'm at work until midnight or so, running two Emacs processes on remote machines. I leave work and come back the next day only to find that the panes of the Emacs windows are completely white (their background) and not responding to any keyboard or mouse input. XKillClient will take care of the window, but ps on the machine a short while later will show that the Emacs process is sucking up cpu, apparently trying to address its window or something. Emacs is the only thing with which I have observed this. Has anyone else noticed similar behaviour? Dave -- tale@rpitsmts.bitnet, tale%mts@itsgw.rpi.edu, tale@pawl.rpi.edu

After a short time I regularily notice the system being rather slow due to BOTH emacs processes eating lots of CPU. This never happened so far with any X clients other than emacs (although besides xterm and istat I don't normally have several copies of the same client). My Emacs is 18.53 compiled with all of the following set: HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS, HAVE_X_WINDOWS, HAVE_X_MENU, X11. We run X11R3 with probably all the "usual" patches applied (plus some local ones). -- Gernot Heiser Phone: +41 1/256 23 48 Integrated Systems Laboratory CSNET/ARPA: heiser%iis.ethz.ch@relay.cs.net ETH Zuerich UUCP (new): heiser@iis.uucp CH-8092 Zuerich, Switzerland UUCP (old): {uunet,mcvax,...}!iis!heiser

Emacs (18.54 with X11 and XMenu, SunOS 4.0, Sun 3/280) hangs when a mouse button is pressed. Does anybody know how to fix this? Sergio Mujica mujica@cs.ucla.edu Computer Science Department, UCLA
