continues loop

continues loop

[Della Bianca Giuseppe]

Hi,
Excuse my bad english,
The version 21.2.1 of emacs introduces continues loop (view at end this
document), in very frequent
and very diffuse way and much, but  not constant, must execute several
and repeated attempts (make new frame, ediff, mouse over the toolbar,
...).

My clean feeling is that the function   face-set-after-frame-default
(view down this document)
is bad used or for an excess of contemporary calls or a bad sincronize
between the calls (seems the classic
problem of one management of the events (refresh, repaint....) not
synchronized and not still).

Not succeeding to visualize in useful way the stack of the calls lisp of
emacs, they are not in a position
to being preciser.

Hi,

(defun face-set-after-frame-default (frame)
  "Set frame-local faces of FRAME from face specs and resources.
Initialize colors of certain faces from frame parameters."
  (dolist (face (face-list))
    (face-spec-set face (face-user-default-spec face) frame)
                  ^^^^ This call is the problem (I think) ^^^^^
