Message-ID: <E19Kn78-0004iY-6a@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m19KRur-000IeBC@rattlesnake.com> (bob@rattlesnake.com)
The recent change to xfaces.c has not fixed the problem that
no one can permanently change
:weight bold
to
:weight normal
in the variable `mode-line-buffer-identification', which is
buffer-local and in other places.
I don't remember the issue. What does it mean to "permanently change"
this? And why can't you do it? What happens if you try?
Fortunately, Miles Bader posted a semi-fix on 18 Dec 2002. This was a
`semi-fix' because his code sometimes led to a race condition and a
crash in Emacs. But not very often.
Mile's patch is
diff -u -r1.266 xfaces.c
--- src/xfaces.c 17 Nov 2002 23:51:19 -0000 1.266
+++ src/xfaces.c 18 Dec 2002 05:26:34 -0000
What is the change? (I gather the change was not installed.)
Can Miles explain what caused the problem?
Maybe we can find a better fix based on that info.
