Hi,
The original reporter
The problem here was that I got a warning about lazy-lock being deprecated and
the code that printed the warning contained "(sit-for 2)" and
the resulting behavior was not quite friendly since I could not figure out
initially where lazy-lock was invoked until I traced the code to figure out where.
I am not sure if lazy-lock mode (supplied with 22.0.90) works without showing
this warning every now and then (electric-buffer mode certainly was not usable
due to this warning message obscuring the intermediate output/input all the time.).
Basic functionality works maybe, but it was hardly usable to a testing luser.
Just my observation.
As for NOT putting the information into the info page, I concur given that
there is a NEWS entry and/or other pointers available on-line so that
the package mainteners have ample hints to fix his/her codes.
By the time, the release to the general public occurs, the kind of problems that
I faced (in relation to somewhat obscure initialize code for VM) would disapper,
hopefully.
