bug#21796: 25.0.50; exiting ediff can leave Emacs unresponsive to keyboard input

[Sean McAfee]

Recipe:

1. Start graphical Emacs with emacs -Q.
2. Create a buffer named "foo" with C-x b foo RET; insert the text "foo\n" there.
3. Create a second buffer named "bar" with C-x 4 b bar RET; insert the
text "bar\n" there.
4. M-x ediff-buffers foo RET bar RET
5. Either exit Ediff immediately with q, or move around and past the
single difference region with n's and p's, then exit.

With an appreciable frequency, after these steps Emacs is left in a
state in which it ignores any further keyboard input.  Mouse
interactions are unaffected, but not particularly useful with no more
keyboard input registering.  I have to close Emacs and restart, but if
Emacs asks me any questions before closing (eg. if I want to save any
modified files, or exit despite some processes still running), I'm
stuck; I cannot respond, so I have to open a terminal and kill the Emacs
process.

The same thing can happen if I use ediff-files instead of ediff-buffers.

The issue does not seem to arise if Emacs is run in non-graphical mode,
ie. by "emacs -Q -nw".

I cannot reproduce this.  Emacs doesn't become unresponsive when I try
this recipe.

When this happens, can you attach a debugger and show both a C
backtrace and a Lisp backtrace?

This says that Emacs waits for you to type something.  I don't see any
signs of lack of responsiveness here.

Are you sure you see no question in the minibuffer at this point?

Yes.  I just did it again to be extra sure.

Then I clicked in the echo area, which caused the *Messages* buffer to
appear, and the last line says "Quit this Ediff session? (y or n) y".

As before, mouse input is complete normal; I can activate menu items,
drag the mode line for the upper window around to resize it, etc, but no
keyboard input registers.  In particular typing C-g a bunch of times has
no effect, nor does C-x C-c after that.

For completeness, in case this wasn't captured in my original bug
report, I'll mention that during these experiments I'm running Emacs on
Ubuntu inside of a VirtualBox instance on a Mac.  There's one other
Emacs-related peculiarity I notice only in this environment: whenever I
start Emacs and desktop-save-mode is restoring my buffers (which takes
much longer than elsewhere for a comparable number of buffers), the
entire system slows to a crawl.

bug#21796: emacs not responding to keyboard events

[Mohammad Toossi]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1681 bytes --]

I am most likely affected by the same issue: when emacs is launched to
compose a git commit message, it sometimes ignores all keyboard input, but
mouse input works normally.  I am using Emacs 24.5.1, Ubuntu 14.04, and I3
WM.

Even more surprisingly, emacs responds to X KeyPress events sent to it
through "xdotool", but not through the real keyboard.  Also, "xev"
indicates that emacs is receiving all KeyPress events and just dropping
them internally.

After spending some time attaching GDB and stepping through code, I have
found that x_filter_event() is the point in which the KeyPress event gets
dropped.  In a good emacs instance, event_handler_gtk receives the event
and passes it on to handle_one_xevent.  In a bad instance,
event_handler_gdk still receives the event but never passes any KeyPress
event to handle_one_xevent.  In bad instances, x_filter_event always
returns true for real key presses, but returns false for fake key presses
from xdotool.

My best guess at this point is that the issue is something along the lines
of [1].  Slowing down the system increases the likelihood of this race
condition(?) happening.

To take it even further, I used xscope to intercept the emacs messages
to/from X, and put a breakpoint on SYNC-Request messages.  Stepping through
the subsequent X messages one by one triggered the bug (1 out of 1 times)
further suggesting that this is a timing issue.

I'm skipping a lot of detail here in order to keep this short.  Feel free
to ask me for more specifics.

bug#21796: 24.5; exiting ediff can leave Emacs unresponsive to keyboard input

[johannes.muelmenstaedt]

I am affected by bug#21796 as well, in emacs-24.5.1.  I can still interact with
the emacs process through emacsclient -nw.  If this is useful for debugging,
please let me know what you want me to do.

[Jonathan Doull]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 646 bytes --]

I first encountered this bug circa 2014 (Emacs 23) - always after using
ediff. Previous to that (date and version) Emacs was rock-solid, so the
problem must have been introduced around then, and it's followed me across
Ubuntu upgrades from 12 to 14.

This bug causes me to restart Emacs a few times every hour during heavy
usage, which is very disruptive, and has stopped Emacs being fun.

The bug is tagged with "moreinfo", however I'm uncertain how to improve on
the quality of reporting that precedes me. I'm happy to assist with
diagnosis if instructed.

In the meantime do any fellow sufferers know a workaround (apart from
dropping ediff)?

It looks like all reporters were using GTK, does the problem go away
if you ./configure --with-x-toolkit=lucid?

Thanks - actually that does seem more stable (several ediffs now and no
crash so far).

For other sufferers - Ubuntu provides a lucid specific package
emacs24-lucid.

I'll report back if problem recurs.

Could you try with ‘ediff-window-setup-function’ set to
‘ediff-setup-windows-plain’?

I'm not sure how to apply your suggestion - ediff-window-setup-function is
obsolete on my Emacs 24.5.

describe-function returns this:

---
ediff-choose-window-setup-function-automatically is a compiled Lisp
function in `ediff-wind.el'.

(ediff-choose-window-setup-function-automatically)

This function is obsolete since 24.3;
use `ediff-setup-windows-default' instead.

Not documented.

[back]

---


The replacement function ediff-setup-windows-default is described as:

---

ediff-setup-windows-default is a compiled Lisp function in

`ediff-wind.el'.

(ediff-setup-windows-default BUFFER-A BUFFER-B BUFFER-C CONTROL-BUFFER)

Not documented.

bug#21796: exiting ediff can leave Emacs unresponsive to keyboard input

I expect Martin meant the variable, not the function; i.e., do this:

(setq ediff-window-setup-function #'ediff-setup-windows-plain)

I meant doing something like

(custom-set-variables
  '(ediff-window-setup-function (quote ediff-setup-windows-plain)))

in your .emacs.

The reason is that I'm convinced that the problem you and others see
here is related to focus redirection for minibuffer-less frames.  In

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24500

I provided a scenario where C-g won't get you back to a reasonable state
either (look for a function called ‘my-other-window’).

Indeed.

I've made this adjustment in my .emacs

> (setq ediff-window-setup-function #'ediff-setup-windows-plain)

and run for a few days now without any hangs, so I'd say this looks like a
good workaround.

Thanks.

Certainly not!  But it supports my suspicion that focus shifting is
responsible for the problem.  Can you reproduce the original problem at
will so we can play with it?  Would have C-x 5 o got you out of that
stall?  Then it might be sufficient to replace some simple form like

     (if (frame-live-p main-frame)
	(select-frame main-frame))

with

     (if (frame-live-p main-frame)
	(select-frame-set-input-focus main-frame))
