I originally installed emacs from the debian repository via apt-get, and it has worked just fine. I just re-installed emacs from aptitude, which is the gui-based version of apt-get. I am now seeing some very strange behavior. Specifically, text in a buffer will start *scrolling* - I've seen this happen in *scratch* where as best as I can tell, words like "zoning" appear. This also occurs in source code files - which is really alarming. Although when I apply some action to the buffer, like a mouse click or keystroke, the scrolling stops and the buffer (appears) to revert to the original content. Any ideas on how to make this stop? thanks tim
