Greetings,
I hope this bug report is useful. I can trigger this bug by setting a large default font size, and simply starting emacs.
When I do this, emacs starts with a frame that is completely blank. No modeline, no cursor, no text, no minibuf. I have attached a screenshot of what it looks like. Typing in this frame or resizing it does not fix anything.
If I create a new frame, I can see the modeline, but its location is such that it is half showing and half cut off below the edge of the frame, and the minibuf is also hidden. I have attached a screenshot of this as well. In this configuration, resizing the frame fixes the placement of the minibuf and modeline.
I am using the emacs I downloaded from emacsformacosx.com.
My .emacs looks like this:
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
)
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
