Please followup here if you have a positive proof that of the contrary. So if you haven't done it already, please report this issue to the Emacs.app maintainers. It's not guaranteed that they read this list. The earlier they know about issues like this, the earlier the Emacs.app code can be merged into emacs. Thanks --dan
