When clicking along the left edge of screen in a maximized emacs X11 window, the message " is undefined" or " is undefined" will appear. This can also be done with the right fringe, and with the top edge of the screen if the menu and tool bars are disabled. It can also be done using mouse events besides , like , , or . This occurs with emacs -Q, regardless of fringe mode or internal border settings. It is easier to reproduce with larger internal borders (-ib 10 or so) or larger fringes, because that expands the size of the nil or fringe area. When internal border and fringes are disabled, there is still a 1-pixel wide area with this problem. This bug makes using programs with clickable UI elements at the edge of the frame annoying. The cursor tends to land in the nil or fringe areas, then the distracting/irrelevant message appears in the echo area when you attempt to click. The attached patch globally ignores all inputs for those areas in fringe.el.
