Obviously this disrupts the work flow s= omewhat.=0A=0AThere is another, possibly related, bug. Occasionally the cur= sor starts behaving strangely. When I type or scroll left or right the curs= or leaves a trail of identical character such as bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb. Th= is is purely visual, if I switch to another buffer and back again the artef= act is no longer there (except right next to the cursor). Again this is far= from desirable. I believe this is a related bug because it seems once it s= tarts doing this and I call the electric buffer list then the freeze bug is= guaranteed.=0A=0AI have no idea what triggers these bugs, sometimes I can = use emacs for several hours without the bugs occuring, sometimes they occur= many times an hour. I always launch emacs in full-screen mode and wonder i= f that might be related (I'll test this possibility and post the result).= =0A=0AI am running Ubuntu (Jaunty) installed on an external USB drive conne= cted to on a Dell laptop with 2Gb RAM. My emacs version is 22 obtained from= the Ubuntu repositories and a recent reinstall did not solve the problem.= =0A=0Aany ideas?=0A=0A=0A=0A
