RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description jigar 2015-10-08 11:08:39 UTC 
Description of problem: Clicking on the menu bar to the right of the Help entry freezes the emacs edit window. The cursor doesn't move and text can't be entered. Resizing the window resizes the frame but the contents don't resize. The edit window can be brought back to life by opening and closing a menu.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 23.1.1 


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Emacs
2. Open a document in edit mode
3. Click on the right of "Help" in the menu bar

Actual results: Emacs freezes

Expected results: Emacs shouldn't freeze and editing and other tasks should run smoothly

Emacs wasn't approved for RHEL-6.8.

> Emacs wasn't approved for RHEL-6.8.

Will this be fixed in RHEL-6.9 release ? Can you give me an update ? 

Thanks,
Jos Collin
Comment 9 Jan Synacek 2016-10-20 08:37:54 UTC 
As far as I know, it won't be fixed, because Emacs wasn't approved for RHEL-6.9.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 shipped it's last Production 2 phase minor
release, RHEL 6.9, on March 21, 2016. On May 10, 2017, RHEL 6 exits
Production 2 phase and moves into Production 3 phase. For RHEL releases
in Production 3 phase, Red Hat will provide critical-impact security
fixes and urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release but will
not provide any software enhancements or hardware enablement.

This BZ does not appear to meet the Product 3 phase inclusion criteria
described above so is being closed WONTFIX. If this BZ is critical for
your environment, please open a case in the Red Hat Customer Portal,
https://access.redhat.com, provide a thorough business justification and
ask that the BZ be re-opened for consideration. Please note, only
critical-impact security fixes and urgent priority bug fixes will be
considered, and no software enhancements or hardware enablement will be
performed.
