bug#25721: 26.0.50; Stuck `compile' when Gnus runs concurrently

[marcowahlsoft]

ACTIONS:

1.

M-; (make-thread #'gnus)

2.

Goto a directory with something to compile with the command 'make'.

3.

M-x compile make


OBSERVATION:

The buffer *compile* does not display the progress of the compilation.
It looks like beeing 'stuck'.


WANT:

The buffer *compile*  displays the progress of the compilation.

If Gnus keeps the other thread busy, then Emacs will never become
idle, in which case this is normal, because Emacs only reads output
from subprocesses when it's idle.

Okay.  Thanks for your explanation and time.

Sidenote: I have the impression that sometimes the compile runs through
(with all the output in the *compile* buffer all of a sudden) and
sometimes the compile really gets stuck.  If I can formulate a
reproducible recipe I will file a fresh report.


Best regards, Marco

I would expect that to happen if the Gnus thread waits on the network
connections from which it reads the newsgroups or email.

Thank you.
