Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2001-12-06 on raven, modified by Debian configured using `configure i386-debian-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena --without-gif' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: C locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Tim Cross wrote in gnu.emacs.help: If I start emacs 21 and either have no .emacs file or use the -q switch I can use the shift+mouse-2 combination to bring up the font menu and choose either from misc or courier fonts and various sizes. All works as expected. However, as soon as I create a .emacs file, attempting to change the font type or size has absolutely no effect. All that happens is the screen expands briefly and then contracts back to its current operating size and fonts do not change. I noticed this because I originally started emacs 21, selected a font I liked via the font menu and then saved the default font settings via customize so that that would be my initial font when starting emacs21. Later, I wanted to change to a smaller font so that I could easily display a file with very long lines and I found the font menu had no effect. I;ve noticed this on two systems running Debian and don't know if its specific to the debian version of emacs21 or a more general weirdness common to many installaitons on various platforms. And I replied: I've had the exact same symptoms, running emacs21 on debian woody. Another (perhaps related) problem is that when I try to change faces in the middle of a document (e.g. default to bold) using control-middle-mouse-button, instead of a change face, I get (for changing get to bold get) geett. Never had this problem in emacs 20.7.
