Subject: Bug within desktop-save functionality in OS X port???
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2003 21:20:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8FA57F9C-69FF-11D7-BA04-00039392CAFA@albert.vcisp.net> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1738 bytes --]

Operating System: 		Mac OSX 'Jaguar' 10.2.4
Emacs version:		21.1.1 (pre-compiled version that ships with Developer 
Tools)

I believe this is a bug, forgive me if I'm wrong.  To try and be as 
sure as possible I created a brand new user and tried the following 
sequence from this new home directory:

	Launch Terminal 						(default shell - tcsh)
	% emacs
	C-x C-f test 							(enter 'This is a text file' in new buffer)
	M-x text-mode
	M-x auto-fill-mode
	M-x customize-group <RET> desktop
	desktop-enable [toggle] non-nil			(saving state for future sessions, 
.emacs created)
	M-x desktop-save <RET>				(selecting home directory, .emacs.desktop 
created)
	C-x C-c <y RET>						(writing file 'test' to disk)
	% emacs								'test' read & buffer created but in FUNDAMENTAL mode, 
auto-fill mode preserved.

I've tried re-ordering this sequence, ie, 'desktop-enabling' before 
setting the major & minor mode but to cut a long story short, the major 
mode text-mode is simply not being preserved, even when starting emacs 
completely from scratch, i.e., in a whole new home directory.  I have 
posted pleas for help at help-gnu-emacs without success.  The best 
explanation I've been given so far was that a function involved with 
restoring the desktop must be crashing and that I should check my 
*Messages* buffer immediately after start-up, and failing that, disable 
my .emacs file (effectively starting from scratch) and see if the 
problem persisted.  I have done both, (no relevant messages were being 
shown), and this has lead me to conclude that there must be a bug.

Dying to know what's going on / if it's a bug / if not, what I'm 
missing / doing wrong.

Seb.
