I use "GNU Emacs 24.4.51.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.= 0.0, NS apple-appkit-1343.16) of 2015-01-02" under a MacBookPro5,4 and Yose= mite 10.10.3 though. For me its reproducible on every startup (maybe becaus= e I load so many applications?) Is anyone working on a fix? I'm long had the same problem with a variety of different Emacs builds (var= ious builds from from http://emacsformacosx.com as well as a couple of home= brew builds). It was not always this way, but I can't put my finger on the = exact change that triggered this behavior. Currently running OS X 10.10.5 o= n an early 2013 13" MBP with 16 GB RAM. I would love to know the solution t= o this problem.
