bug#16680: 24.3; select-frame-set-input-focus: not an in-range integer, float, or cons of integers

[cinsky]

This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':

In my i686 Gentoo Linux, Emacs 24.3:

Any function/command that uses `select-frame-set-input-focus'
prints following error in "*Messages*" buffer.

  select-frame-set-input-focus: Not an in-range integer, float, or cons of
integers

Note#1: it raises an error, but it does set input focus to
        another frame.  For example,  following sexp seems to
        set input focus to the next frame, but it raises an
        error so that function `message' is not evaluated.

  (progn (select-frame-set-input-focus (next-frame))
         (message "this will not be evaluated"))

Note#2: Another x86_64 Gentoo machine with same configuration
        uses same Emacs package, but has no problem.

Thank you,

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file

bug#16680: 24.3; select-frame-set-input-focus: not an in-range integer, float, or cons of integers

Can you step through `select-frame-set-input-focus' with edebug to see
where the bug comes from?

Thanks, martin

bug#16680: 24.3; select-frame-set-input-focus: not an in-range integer

[joakim]

I have this error:

select-frame-set-input-focus: Not an in-range integer, float, or cons of integers

It happens for instanc3e in helm mode.

If I comment out     ;(x-focus-frame frame)
in the function below, the problem doesnt seem to occur.

I see that the bug is rather old, but my emacs is rather newly compiled,
so im not sure.

(defun select-frame-set-input-focus (frame &optional norecord)
  "Select FRAME, raise it, and set input focus, if possible.
If `mouse-autoselect-window' is non-nil, also move mouse pointer
to FRAME's selected window.  Otherwise, if `focus-follows-mouse'
is non-nil, move mouse cursor to FRAME.

Optional argument NORECORD means to neither change the order of
recently selected windows nor the buffer list."
  (select-frame frame norecord)
  (raise-frame frame)
  ;; Ensure, if possible, that FRAME gets input focus.
  (when (memq (window-system frame) '(x w32 ns))
    ;(x-focus-frame frame)
    )
  ;; Move mouse cursor if necessary.
  (cond
   (mouse-autoselect-window
    (let ((edges (window-inside-edges (frame-selected-window frame))))
      ;; Move mouse cursor into FRAME's selected window to avoid that
      ;; Emacs mouse-autoselects another window.
      (set-mouse-position frame (nth 2 edges) (nth 1 edges))))
   (focus-follows-mouse
    ;; Move mouse cursor into FRAME to avoid that another frame gets
    ;; selected by the window manager.
    (set-mouse-position frame (1- (frame-width frame)) 0))))

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

Are you still seeing this issue in recent versions of Emacs?  If so, can
you (setq debug-on-error t) and post the resulting backtrace when this
happens?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
