Subject: bug#26104: 26.0.50; In Ubuntu, having mouse over other frame cause Alt key to produce a <switch-frame> event
Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 23:25:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3517ed20-78a5-f7ea-7594-eeb18c95e90e@gmail.com> (raw)
In Ubuntu, if I have two frames open and the mouse is positioned over
the other frame (i.e. not over the active one), pressing the Alt key
produces a <switch-frame> event.
While this event does nothing in itself, it disrupts things like
yank-pop, which no longer works if it is bound to M-y as usual (because
instead of the command sequence yank -> yank-pop, we now have yank ->
handle-switch-frame -> yank-pop, which gives an error "user-error:
Previous command was not a yank").
To be honest, I don't know enough about X-Windows to know if this is
emacs' fault or x-windows fault. But it's very annoying.
