* bug#1763: 23.0.60; Customization buffers shows up empty

Whenever I try to customize a variable using M-x customize-variable,
the customization buffer that opens up is empty. The actual output
(the text, buttons etc) that I expect to see in the customization
buffer is usually in the file I had open when I ran the
customize-variable command. This happens consistently for me with
version 23 cvs trunk configured with --with-ns. I am using a Mac OS X
10.4

In the current case, I ran customize-variable while I was looking at
toggle.el. The customization buffer came up empty but the actual
buttons/text now show up in toggle.el.

Can you reproduce it starting from "emacs -Q"?
If so, what are all the steps needed to reproduce it?
If not, try to trim down your .emacs file until you find the piece of
code that triggers this bug.

Could you try with ECB switched off?

No, it works fine when I startup with -Q. The code that triggers this
bug is the (require 'ecb) line. I have the ecb snapshot installed from
the ecb website. Google turned up this page
http://www.nabble.com/Customize-contents-ends-up-in-the-wrong-buffer.-to20975733.html#a20975848
so looks like this bug has already been reported to the ecb list.

Not sure what the process is here, but if ecb is going to be part of
emacs in a future release, is it possible to file this ticket against
that release to make sure it is fixed by then?

Thanks for your help

Sundar
