Bug 13419 – Xemacs display weirdness

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) 2003-01-07 09:45:11 UTC]

Xemacs, when launched in graphical mode (under X) displays light-grey holes (see
attached screenshot).  As you can see that I have changed the default colours
for the background and foreground.  Two things are of interest in the screenshot:

1. The huge grey stripe on the right.
2. Smaller grey strips along the left and bottom window borders.  I think
   that it's interesting that they are not continuous (i.e. they don't span
   the entire border).

I have been having this problem with Xemacs for a while, but it became a lot
less bearable lately: before I just used to have the small thin grey stripes
along the window borders, but now this monster one! ;^)  I wonder if this is
something that I'm doing wrong or a bug.

Currently I'm using 2.4.10-r2.  The output of emerge info is below:

Xemacs window snapshot

[Comment 2 Rendhalver (RETIRED) 2003-01-16 12:43:41 UTC]

can you please test out the new xemacs-21.4.12 ebuild and see if it fixes your
problem.

[Comment 3 Arcady Genkin (RETIRED) 2003-02-04 17:01:00 UTC]

I tried xemacs 21.4.12, and it still exhibits the same problem.
I have no idea whether this bug is specific to Gentoo.  Perhaps I should open a bug with the Xemacs project?

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-07-21 15:37:05 UTC]

Mass re-assign of really stale bugs; xemacs herd, please verify the status and
close them if these issues no longer exist. 

[Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-05-29 18:24:32 UTC]

Try w/ 21.4.17, reopen if it still doesn't work. 

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-05-29 18:24:50 UTC]

Blah, wrong resolution.

[Comment 7 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-05-29 18:25:34 UTC]

TEST-REQUEST that is...
