Here are a few w32 specific bugs I can remember right now out of my head that have not been entered in FOR-RELEASE: - Printing is broken on w32 and some weeks ago I discovered that Emacs can hang completely if a user tries to print. Unsaved data can be lost, of course! - rgrep is broken on w32. (I will send a patch for this in a while though.) - The handling of lwindow/rwindow and alt keys are broken. (I have sent patches several times for this, but nothing really happens.) - Menu handling is broken IMO. You can not add accelerators to menus. This is due to handling of & chars at the wrong moment in the C sources. I am surprised that not the first one of these bugs are in FOR-RELEASE and I believe it is a very good illustration of the need for a bug database.
