I do not doubt it works with Emacs 23!

Anyway, other problems occur, say with rev. >= 100832 (but perhaps also with prev.): emacs -Q & Now double clicking on the text of scratch buffer freezes Emacs and the blinking cursor disappears. Only clicking on the menu bar items, and then in the scratch buffer, revert the freeze. Ciao, Angelo. --- [*] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-07/msg00720.html
