Just tried the text-mode menu in emacs-24 branch, and it is rather broken. It is kind of hard for me to describe the bug in detail, but scrolling through the menu items of the "Edit" menu gives me randomly wrong aligned menu items. "Undo" is not aligned with the rest of the menu, but aligned to the left of the screen. Quitting the menu gives me left-over characters from these wrong-aligned menu items. Can someone experienced with the new text mode menu take a look at this please? I am seeing it on Linux in tty mode, with a "--without-x" complied emacs. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I can't see plain image file screenshots, but the (terse) description in the bug report sort of matches what I see, so likely this is the same issue. Thanks for pointing this out. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Did menus work OK then, but not now? If so, what, if anything, has changed since then, in terms of your system configuration, the way you build Emacs, or the terminal emulation software you are using? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Did menus work > OK then, but not now? Yes. When I tested the cursor motion changes about 1 1/2 months ago, I didn't see any display glitches. However, I tested trunk back then, and not emacs-24, to be exact. > If so, what, if anything, has changed since then, in terms of your > system configuration, the way you build Emacs, or the terminal > emulation software you are using? Nothing, except that this time I tried emacs-24. I noticed you reworked the patch just a few days ago, maybe that introduced the glitches? Note that the cursor is placed correctly at the beginning of the menu item, even if the menu item location is actually incorrect. So the cursor motion fix seems "fine", i.e., sync to the display glitches. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

However, I tested trunk back then, and not > emacs-24, to be exact. Please try the trunk again. The menus code is identical in both branches. Moreover, Dmitry reported bug 17497 for the trunk, not for the release branch. So I don't think this is the reason. > > If so, what, if anything, has changed since then, in terms of your > > system configuration, the way you build Emacs, or the terminal > > emulation software you are using? > > Nothing, except that this time I tried emacs-24.

No, the rework was intended to maybe solve the problems that were reported before the changes I made. > Note that the cursor is placed correctly at the beginning of the menu > item, even if the menu item location is actually incorrect. You mean, the cursor is at the menu item even when that menu item is in the wrong position? IOW, the cursor is also in the wrong position, near the wrongly positioned menu item? > So the cursor motion fix seems "fine", i.e., sync to the display > glitches. Writing the menu item involves moving the cursor to the menu item location first, so if that movement gets the cursor to incorrect position, it will probably do that always. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
