Re: Issues for 24.3

[J Irving <j@lollyshouse.ca>]

FWIW, I still see horrible full screen toolbar rendering in the .92 pretest, very much like what I reported here:

   http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13444

OS X is not a high priority platform for emacs as I understand it, but if there's a hope of improvement before 24.3 is released, I will attempt to reproduce that bug precisely with the pretest.

This is not a regression per se, since I don't believe Emacs has previously officially supported any kind of full screen mode on OS X. (I've previously used an old-style fullscreen hack via homebrew with the NS port, and more recently have been using Mitsuharu-san's awesome Mac port which has a good - also old-style, non-Lion - fullscreen mode.) Nonetheless, the lack of a viable full screen mode is critical to me :)

cheers, J
