bug#11501: Emacs 24.0.97 Pretest Windows Binaries + Win7 x64: create new file dialog does not work.

[Miguel Ruiz]

Every Emacs pretest windows binary since 24.0.92 shows the same
behaviour: after runemacs -Q, if you go with mouse to  'menu-bar file
new-file' or 'tool-bar new-file', a graphical file selector dialog
opens, with some icons in complete black, and when you enter a new
file name, click OK (Open, actually), nothing happens.

Also, I experiment the same behaviour with official Emacs 23.4, but
not in Emacs 23.3.

Both series, 23.4 and 24.0.x, works perfectly in Windows XP and Windows 7 x86

But the binary from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ntemacs/ntemacs24-bin-20110402.7z?download
(version 24.0.50.1) WORKS PERFECTLY. The report-emacs-bug info for
this working version is the following:

(Windows 7 x64 Home Premium)

May I get a complete working binary of Emacs 24 for W7 x64?

Please, feel free to demand further information.

I just tried with pretest 24.0.97 on w7/64 and I can not reproduce this problem.

I cannot reproduce this on my XP system.

Are you saying that the problem happens only in Windows 7 64-bit?

I just tried 24.0.97 on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I don't
see the bug either.

Here, in http://www.screenr.com/Bam8 , you can find a screencast of
the behaviour.

I will try to find a fresh W7 x64 but it won't be soon at all.

Thank you for your quick answer.

Miguel Ruiz.

Interesting. I see a whole bunch of additional dlls in your bin folder. 
Can you please use a fresh copy of Emacs and run it without the 
additional dlls and see if the issue persists?

I can also not reproduce the problem on Windows 7 x64.

Hi.

Here, http://www.screenr.com/vwm8, you can find a screencast of a
fresh Emacs decompression, the issue again, but eventually, it creates
the new file.

You can ignore the first 3:30 minutes, if you don't waste your time.

In the minute 4:43, something funny happens: I click Open, with a new
filename  and a subdir selected, and it firstly change the dir, and
then create the file.

I cannot figure out if the issue is caused by Emacs, or by a W7
library, or by the interaction of both. Remember the first post and
the ntemacs build than runs without errors.

Have the exact same problem.

Tested Emacs 23.X and 24.0 and File --> visit New File works as intended.

In 24.1, I cannot create a new file through Visit New File. Also happens with File --> Save as, which exhibits the same problem. 

Using Windows Prof x64 on Lenovo X220t. 

Happy to submit any further info. 

Cheers,

Rich

I note that this was reported in 2012, which is now 7 years ago.  Are
you still seeing this bug on a modern version of Emacs, for example
the latest version 26.2?

I also note that at least three other people tried different Windows
versions without being able to reproduce this problem.

Thanks,
Stefan Kangas

More information was requested, but none was given within 5 weeks, so
I'm closing this bug as unreproducible.  If you're still seeing this,
please reopen the bug report.
