Subject: bug#688: Arithmetic error at 'About Emacs' when --with-xft=no
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 23:05:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b5accf970808111405y49099f10rb0ae02eebb3788ba@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

now it might not to be so useful, but let me note: I tried emacs -q
and set debug-on-error; then I repeated the problematic steps and
found that I see the arith-error only if I want to move the point in
the half-drawn buffer. E.g. when I pushed some arrow keys I saw in the
*Backtrace* buffer this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (arith-error)
  pos-visible-in-window-p(t nil t)
  line-move-partial(1 nil nil)
  line-move(1 nil nil 1)
  byte-code("Â Ã	$" [arg try-vscroll line-move nil] 5)
  next-line(1 1)
  call-interactively(next-line nil nil)

When I tried to "drag" by the mouse I got the attachment.

Moreover when I resized the whole frame, the about-emacs buffer (what
was active then) became blank (because of lack of redisplay?), but
arith-error didn't appear in the *Messages* buffer (or anywhere else)
nor the *Backtrace* buffer appeared, even if I turned on
debug-on-error previously. Is this OK?

Thanks,
P
