In GNU Emacs 21.3.2 (i386-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2003-04-24 on raven, modified by Debian configured using `configure i386-linux --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena --without-gif' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: C value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: C value of $LANG: fi_FI@euro locale-coding-system: iso-latin-9 default-enable-multibyte-characters: nil Emacs 21 has occasional problems with X11 display updates. Last night, I was able to reproduce one bug - alas, I don't know which font Emacs is using, and this exact bug doesn't seem to appear with other fonts. To reproduce, type m C-a m on an empty line. The line should read "mm" with the cursor above the second "m", but instead, it reads "_m", where the "_" is a ghost image of the cursor. A picture is worth 1000 words, or in this case 1000 bytes. I've attached two screenshots in PNG format. Marko
