Subject: bug#1860: 23.0.60; odd white block next to cursor, after typing some spaces
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2009 12:43:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <36366a980901111243i57f56227nebff4b3e16505c00@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I'm using "urxvt", if it matters.
I started emacs like this:
$ cd /usr/local/src/emacs/src
$ ./emacs -Q -nw
That put me in the *scratch* buffer, naturally. I then typed
SPC SPC SPC SPC SPC SPC SPC
The cursor moved to the right, as expected. But after the last SPC,
something strange happened: the cursor (a solid white rectangle) now
appears twice as wide as it ought to: it's as if columns six and seven
(I count starting from zero, the way column-number-mode does) both
light up whenever the cursor enters them.
I've seen this in other places too, but I can't come up with a simple
description of when it happens.
I honestly don't know if this is a bug or a feature. If it's a
feature, I very much want to disable it.
This version of emacs was built from source whose last CVS checkin
looks like this:
