Subject: bug#44375: Always give a message when flashing the screen
Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2020 05:48:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eelc21go.5.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87o8kg3mam.5.fsf@jidanni.org>
In http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=44340 one can see how to
produce a [Show] button.
If the user just clicks it, the screen flashes.
Instead there should be a message printed at the bottom of the screen.
"Don't just click me. I need to be specially clicked: with the middle
button to work."
The above is a case of where flashing should be replaced by a message.
I think most of the cases where emacs just flashes like this, leaving
the user puzzled, have been found already. But there still may be others.
