I'm running emacs on an (old) debian box from an ssh session, with X
forwarding set up to Cygwin's X windows.
Since updating to this morning's bzr trunk (but still the case after a
bzr update 15 minutes ago), starting up emacs gives an error
"<Scroll_Lock> is undefined". This error is repeated when the emacs
window receives the focus (after Alt-TAB). It is quite annoying since I
tend to go back and forth between windows a lot.
Happens with emacs -Q too, so does not seem to be a customization issue.
I tried
(global-set-key [Scroll_Lock] nil)
and
(global-set-key [Scroll_Lock] 'do-nothing)
but neither had any effect whatsoever.
As an aside, I see that [C-q TAB] inserts a NUL character before the
TAB. It does not happen for all characters; others that seem to get a
NUL are [return], [ESC] (which inserts the NUL but then treats the ESC
as a keypress rather than inserting an escape character).
In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.20)
of 2010-06-10 on leeloo
Windowing system distributor `The Cygwin/X Project', version 11.0.10503000
configured using `configure '--with-x''

Hmm. Looks like my keyboard's Scroll Lock state was enabled at the time.
Still a bit annoying that emacs complained about this every single
time it received the focus though (no other apps do).
If this is intentional and/or necessary behaviour, then I guess this
bug can be closed.

Good to know, thanks.

Obviously.

No, it's not intentional and I don't think it's necessary either.

With this morning's bzr trunk this seems to have gone away; pressing
the key with Emacs still has the message, but that's perfectly normal.
The message is no longer issued when switching to/from Emacs, nor when
starting Emacs with scroll lock enabled.

Looks like I was premature. I just switched to emacs from Vista (a
3270 terminal emulator; probably the reason Scroll Lock is on to begin
with) and it hit the error again.
Given that when I tested it this morning (explicitly
enabling/disabling Scroll Lock via the keyboard) things were working,
it may be specifically related to Scroll Lock being enabled
programmatically. It may also be specific to my use case (i.e. using
Cygwin's X server via SSH tunnelling).
I'll try to do some tests next Monday.

That was 10 years ago. Are you still seeing this on a modern version
of Emacs?

Thanks, closing the bug with this message.
