Package: emacs23-lucid Version: 23.2+1-7 Severity: normal (I am strongly debating to myself whether this is a Grave functionality bug because of the data corruption in config files that go unnoticed because C-s directed the user to a different part of the file)
This bug looks similar to #608417 (which is this bug: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg00782.html ) but the symptoms are different, and probably as a result of emacs trying to query the background colour: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-08/msg00533.html Sometimes, perhaps on slow remote connections, "11;rgb:0000/0000/0000" gets inserted into a buffer at the cursor position. I think it must be when I open emacs to a config file, and immediately type C-s to search for a clause. Perhaps this pauses xterm before the terminal is configured to not pause for C-s. Then perhaps the timer registers, sets up the terminal, and unpauses it (and even actions the C-s search (hence why I didn't notice that it inserted the string somewhere else in the file). Meanwhile, the response from the terminal comes back too late, and gets echoed to the buffer instead of interpreted by emacs. The fix is probably to remove the timer if there is such one (see the first thread I posted about the reponse to ";0c" being missed by the timer), since no one has ever documented a case where the terminal is TERM=xterm, but doesn't repond to these escape codes properly (and anyone doing such a silly thing deserves what they get). -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (5, 'testing'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages emacs23-lucid depends on: ii emacs23-bin-common 23.2+1-7 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii libasound2 1.0.24.1-4 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-4+squeeze1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-2.1+squeeze1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib 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 1.20.4-3.3 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.5-2 GTK+ graphical user interface libr ii libice6 2:1.0.6-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libm17n-0 1.6.1-1 a multilingual text processing lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libotf0 0.9.11-1 A Library for handling OpenType Fo ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1+squeeze1 PNG library - runtime ii librsvg2-2 2.34.0-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.9.4-5+squeeze3 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.1.2-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.14-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.8-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-18 Xaw3d widget set ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime emacs23-lucid recommends no packages.
