* change in Emacs highlighting behavior @ 2010-01-31 6:44 mafaeq 0 siblings, 0 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: mafaeq @ 2010-01-31 6:44 UTC (permalink / raw To: Help-gnu-emacs Hi all, I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and since the upgrade, emacs has been behaving differently. Specifically, when I left-click on the scroll scrollbar, it sets a mark whenever the cursor moves, causing the region betw where the cursor was and where it is to become highlighted. This also happens if I left-click and drag along the scrollbar. It didn't behave like this before and I find it very annoying! I've tried turning transient-mark mode on/off but that doesn't make a difference. This is the version of emacs that I am using: GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of 2009-09-27 on palmer, modified by Debian I've tried removing and re-installing emacs and I've deleted my .emacs file and .emacs.d directory, just to make sure there was nothing there causing this. Oh also, when I start emacs I get the following message in the terminal (emacs:3741): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times I don't know if that is related, but it's also new since the upgrade to 9.10 Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/change-in-Emacs-highlighting-behavior-tp27390648p27390648.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Sorry, can't help you here (I don't use scrollbars or the mouse), but ... > This is the version of emacs that I am using: > GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) > of 2009-09-27 on palmer, modified by Debian This is not a released version of Emacs. It is almost certainly a "pretest", i.e. a beta test version, released by the Emacs development team to those willing to test it. A released version would have a number like "23.1.1", where "23" is the major version, "1" the minor version, and "1" meaning it's the first time it's been compiled. > I've tried removing and re-installing emacs and I've deleted my .emacs > file and .emacs.d directory, just to make sure there was nothing there > causing this. You can start with "emacs -Q", which avoids loading your .emacs etc., to check that it's Emacs at fault and not your own files. > Oh also, when I start emacs I get the following message in the terminal > (emacs:3741): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times > I don't know if that is related, but it's also new since the upgrade to > 9.10 > Any help would be greatly appreciated! If you are a public spirited person, you should send a bug report to Ubuntu or even Debian. Though, best of luck finding a person willing to accept blame. Otherwise, I'd recommend you to download the latest stable, released version from this address: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-23.1.tar.bz2 (or one of the other files in the same directory (there are MS-Windows versions there too)), and unpack, build and install it. That version would work properly. With a modern DSL line and a modern PC, this whole process would take less than an hour -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
