Package: emacs23 Version: 23.3+1-1 Severity: normal I'm not 100% sure this is an emacs issue, but both times I've seen the problem it has been with emacs.
The symptoms are that the upper left region of my screen become unusable. I can't click on any icons on the left side of the gnome menu, and I can't grab the title bar of any windows in that region. If I hover over the upper part of this region, I can see the hover-over text from emacs menus. I can also open emacs dropdown menus by clicking in the right spots. Basically, its like there's an invisible emacs window sitting between the visible windows and my mouse pointer. I didn't investigate much the first time, but now that it has occurred twice I've taken a closer look. There is an emacs process running, though it doesn't appear in the gnome window list. This process' parent is PID 1. According to /proc/<pid>/fd, it has my .xsession-errors file open - though I don't remember opening that file this session. The positioning of the emacs ghost window is strange too, as it is covering part of the upper gnome panel - this isn't a place where I can normally move a window manually. I'm guessing the upper left coordinate is 0x0. In case this is a window manager issue, note that I am using compiz from experimental, version 0.9.2.1+git20110226.f059fae9-4. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-rc4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages emacs23 depends on: ii emacs23-bin-common 23.3+1-1 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii libasound2 1.0.23-3 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libatk1.0-0 2.0.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.8-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.4-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-6 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.23.3-3 GDK Pixbuf library ii libgif4 4.1.6-9 library for GIF images (library) ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpm2 1.20.4-3.4 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.4-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libm17n-0 1.6.2-3 a multilingual text processing lib ii libncurses5 5.9-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libotf0 0.9.12-1 A Library for handling OpenType Fo ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-6 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-2 PNG library - runtime ii librsvg2-2 2.32.1-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsm6 2:1.2.0-1 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.9.5-1 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.4.3-1 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.2.0-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxpm4 1:3.5.9-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime emacs23 recommends no packages.
