I can reproduce this bug every time. If maximising is a habit for you, it's quite hard not to hit this bug over and over and over. And over again. I looked around a bit and found something related upstream: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200312/msg00218.html According to the upstream message it seems likely this a problem with metacity not following the Xt protocol: |I think this is the known bug where Metacity insists on maximizing to |the pixel, but XEmacs wants character cell sizes. For some reason, |the negotiation gets into a loop. Sometimes (if the hardware is not |too fast) the loop is visible as flickering in the upper-right corner. | |I tend to suspect that Metacity is not putting its foot down and |saying "this is your geometry---live with it", which is what the |parent window is supposed to do. I'm pretty sure that XEmacs does its |geometry negotiation properly according to Xt standards; I know that |GNOME basically does not care if non-GNOME applications work (that is, |it's definitely a secondary priority and in practice it rarely gets |much attention). I think if you use the GNOME build it will work |fine. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 111225 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
