Anyone knows why the majority of windowed applications launched from an
emacs shell doesn't show until the shell buffer is killed? [MSWindows]

Try M-x shell <RET> notepad

Doesn't show anything on the computers I've tried until C-x k

Can you reproduce this starting from "emacs -Q" at the command line?

What version of Emacs is it? Please paste the text from M-x 
report-emacs-bug.

I have no problem reproducing this with an unpatched Emacs from 2009-01-04.

Strange, I couldn't reproduce this when I first tried, but now I can 
reproduce it every time on Emacs 21.3, 22.3 and CVS trunk.

Perhaps it was a recent OS patch that caused this behaviour. It does not 
even seem to be linked to the fact that the shell window is hidden, as 
changing w32-start-process-show-window does not improve the problem.

Hello,
 I did some further testing. Not conclusive though but enough to give good leads.

shell>notepad
You do not see the notepad window showing up (as reported)

shell>[return]
shell>[return]
shell>[return]
shell>[return]

And you see the notepad window coming up after exactly 4 CR presses! Somewhere, it is expecting CRLF combinations I guess.. some comint?

For records, this works as expected:
(comint-exec (current-buffer) "notepad" "notepad.exe" nil nil)

Is the problem still reproducible?

  M-x shell <RET>
  notepad <RET>

works as expected for me.

It works as expected for me now on Vista with CVS trunk. But I don't think
this was the configuration I reproduced it on originally.

Well, IMHO it does not make much sense to keep the bug open if we
cannot reproduce it. We can reopen it if it happens again.

Please leave it open until we've had a chance to try on systems where it
was known to fail.

OK, though I don't see in the thread any specific system where it was
known to fail. Not a lot of detail in the reports.
