GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, NS apple- appkit-824.48) I've been seeing this same problem for the last month since I compiled and built emacs on my PowerBook G4 Mac + OS X 10.4.11. The 'beachball' spins for a few seconds but then emacs works fine immediately afterwards. I *have* tried Ctrl-G, but I don't think it helps: and I would not be surprised... doesn't the beachball mean 'unresponsive'? And it is annoyingly frequent :) To add detail, I'd like to mention that in my case, while I haven't noticed that this happens more often with C-x C-s.. Will keep an eye out for this! steps I use to compile: 0. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs 1. ./configure --prefix /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS --with- ns --enable-ns-self-contained=3Dyes --enable-cocoa-experimental-ctrl- g=3Dyes # NOT 'sure' that used the 'experimental-C-g' option on this latest build! 2. edit Makefile to remove 'maybe-blessmail' 3. make bootstrap ; make ; sudo make install I used to build Carbon Emacs up till a couple of months ago, and do not recall this behaviour.
