Package: emacs23 Version: 23.3+1-4 Severity: important When you minimize emacs with Ctrl-Z and then restore it, either with Alt-TAB or via the Activites screen, then the cursor disapperas and emacs stops responding to any user input.
If you maximize emacs and then restore the window then the cursor reappears and it continues to work normally. Note that the problem does not occur if you minimize emacs using the mouse, only using Ctrl-Z. This bug has already been reported and fixed in Fedora, so you can check there for description and patch: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711739 What I understand from the patch is that it has something to do with handling _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN and that this has been fixed in the upstream version of emacs. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages emacs23 depends on: ii emacs23-bin-common 23.3+1-4 ii libasound2 1.0.24.1-4 ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.2 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.16-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3 ii libfreetype6 2.4.8-1 ii libgconf2-4 2.32.4-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-2 ii libgif4 4.1.6-9 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-4 ii libgpm2 1.20.4-4 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.8-2 ii libice6 2:1.0.7-2 ii libjpeg8 8c-2 ii libm17n-0 1.6.3-1 ii libncurses5 5.9-4 ii libotf0 0.9.12-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libpng12-0 1.2.46-3 ii librsvg2-2 2.34.2-2 ii libsm6 2:1.2.0-2 ii libtiff4 3.9.5-2 ii libtinfo5 5.9-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 ii libxft2 2.2.0-3 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.9-4 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 emacs23 recommends no packages.
