(I'm using gdb 7.3.50.20111026-cvs (cygwin-special), also, the latest available.) This has caused a couple of issues with the information that appears in the gud interaction buffer. If, for example, I step through my program by typing the "n" command and hitting RETURN repeatedly, each step echoes the text of the source line in the buffer, just as if I were using gdb directly in an xterm. That doesn't happen if I click the mouse on the "next" graphical button, which is an acceptable alternative. However, if I use the graphical button for "run" or "continue," when I hit a breakpoint the current function (including parameter values) is not displayed in the gud interaction buffer. To get that to display, I have to type "run" or "c" in the buffer instead of using the graphical button. Can this be fixed with some configuration settings, or is it a bug that (hopefully) will be fixed when more recent versions of emacs and/or gdb become available? -- William M.
