cus-edit.el:custom-newline --- Problem on Linux Console:

[T. V. Raman]

The update to cus-edit.el that adds  command custom-newline and
binds it  to the return key in customization buffers is causing
trouble on the Linux console (i.e. outside X)
in the following manner:

Pressing RET on insert and delete buttons created by custom has
no effect.

I looked at the source code,
and evaluated the following in the minibuffer with point on an
"[ins]" button:


 (setq b (get-char-property (point) 'button))
(widget-apply-action b (read-key-sequence "press"))
and pressed RET when prompted by the above, and the insert button
does get invoked currectly.

Perhaps there is a problem from reading the key as an event? I
don't know since I dont run under X.

 Thanks, 
 --Raman

    Pressing RET on insert and delete buttons created by custom has
    no effect.

It works when I try it.
Please provide a precise test case.

I thought my original message had a test case -- not sure what
"precise test case" means.

Any custom widget that uses repeat -- linux console -- no X ---
insert and delete buttons are dead.

This is on FC3 if that matters.

I can't reproduce this.  Here is what I tried.

On Linux console (Ubuntu Dapper), with the latest CVS Emacs:

  1. emacs -q
  2. M-x customize-option RET initial-frame-alist RET
  3. Move point over INS
  4. RET  =>  option field opens up
  5. Move point over DEL
  5. RET  =>  option field closes

initial-frame-alist has customization type

  '(repeat (cons :format "%v"
             (symbol :tag "Parameter")
                     (sexp :tag "Value")))

    Any custom widget that uses repeat -- linux console -- no X ---
    insert and delete buttons are dead.

"Any custom widget" is a vague description of how to cause the failure
to happen.  A precise test case means you tell us exactly what
sequence of characters to type, starting with `emacs -Q', so as to
reproduce the bug.

This does work, I was just confused ...
