I set inhibit-splash-screen to t in .emacs, so I didn't see this warning. > But when you then start Emacs you get the following difficult to miss > warning on your startup screen: > > Warning Warning Pure space overflow Warning Warning Out of curiosity, I tried to set inhibit-splash-screen to nil, and I see that this warning is still easy to miss even with inhibit-splash-screen=nil: this warning is outside the main text area of the splash screen and is not specially highlighted, e.g. in red. Instead of that, in red are only the line: GNU Emacs is one component of the GNU/Linux operating system which attracts all attention. > Showing it at startup should be sufficient for people to notice. > They noticed it this time: the bug got reported on emacs-pretest-bug. Showing this warning at startup is not sufficient for people who disable the splash screen, so perhaps it should be displayed with `display-warning'. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
