Description of problem: xemacs loses the cursor sometimes: It just disapears, or gets replaced by a very thin red overline (cursor is a red rectangle), or even stays put while the "real" cursor moves around. This seems not to be xemacs' fault (oldish package, worked fine before), the closest xemacs-related install is xemacs-packages-extra Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.5.28-9.fc10.x86_64 xemacs-packages-extra-20070427-3.fc10.noarch How reproducible: Often (at least once an hour with my use here: mh-e with nmh, editing mostly LaTeX with auctex and C or C++ code). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hard to say, seems to be related to how long xemacs has been running. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This seems to have dissapeared (really an X problem?)
Gone for good, together with other assorted X weirdness. Closing.
This still appears to be a bug in: Fedora release 9 (Sulphur) with: $ rpm -qa | grep xemacs xemacs-packages-extra-20070427-2.fc9.noarch xemacs-packages-base-20070427-1.fc8.noarch xemacs-devel-21.5.28-6.fc9.x86_64 xemacs-21.5.28-6.fc9.x86_64 xemacs-common-21.5.28-6.fc9.x86_64 It is fairly easy to reproduce using Gnome as the WM: - Open two files in different frames (python code for example). - Use the Alt-Tab key-combination to switch between frames. Move the cursor around a bit and then switch back with Alt-Tab. The cursor will disappear even though you can move around with the arrow keys and see the Line/Column numbers changing in the mode-line. - Using the mouse to "click" in the other frame will bring the red cursor line back. Any ideas? Currently unable to verify in F10.
I no longer have access to a F-9 box but just in case it has any effect (doubtful), a scratch build of 21.5.29 for F-9 is available at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1369044 in case you want to try it out. If that doesn't fix it, it's very likely that F-9 will remain as is.
