Hi. For a while I have been using the facilities to make the caret
visible and use the system caret in order to run emacs under ms
windows. HOwever, when I used the latest cvs version as of 10/17/02,
the caret was not properly tracked at all, although it was still
there, it didn't seem to do anything when I hit the arrows, although
it did work when it was positioned in the echo area to find a file or
other functions. I went back to an earlier version (w32-fns.c dated
June 14) and it is working again, so somewhere after that it became
broken. The version number of emacs in both cases is 21.3.50.1.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

We have nobody working much on support for Windows now. Can you
experiment with intermediate versions from CVS and narrow it down more
precisely?

OK, I will be glad to do this, but please tell me how to figure out
and retrieve different versions of cvs -- I have read the docs, but
its confusing to me as to how to do that.
Thanks.

E.g.
cvs update -D "10 days ago"
will modify your current checkout to reflect the sources 10 days ago.
Then do make clean, configure, make bootstrap to build it.

OK, I did narrow it down to the following, it takes quite a while to
do the update, but on 8/27/02 it worked, and 9/02/02 did not -- I
hope this narrows it down enough to figure out what is the matter.

You can use C-x v l in Emacs to get the CVS log of the current file,
and C-x v ~ to retrieve any version specifying its version numbers.

I am interested in this problem as well. I would be more than willing to do
what I can to resolve it. However, I have no idea how to retrieve older
versions of files from CVS.

Use PCL-CVS or one of the following:
cvs checkout -r REV file
cvs checkout -D DATE file
Since it has been reported that replacing w32fns.c with one from
several months ago worked, you could concentrate on that file and go
back one revision at a time.
But first make sure you can reproduce what the problem is in the
current version. I am not sure that it is easy to spot without
specific accessibilty software installed on your system that relies
on tracking the system caret.

I have been able to reproduce this problem. The company I work for, Freedom
Scientific, is the developer of several accessibility products, including
the screen reader JAWS. Since I am one of the developers of JAWS, I am in
an excellent position to test the system caret support.
I am more than willing to devote quite some time in the evenings at home to
resolve this problem. My vision is failing and I am beginning to actually
need to use JAWS (I have been helping to develop it for four years now but
until about 6 months ago when my vision started getting much worse I never
even used it other than the bare minimum to test my work!). One thing I
really an having problems with now is that JAWS does not work with Emacs
very well, so I am having to rely on other editors when eye strain causes me
to have to rely on JAWS. Therefore I am highly motivated to resolve this
problem as soon as possible.

There were changes made on 2002-08-28 and 2002-08-30 that
could be relevant. Both involved cursor related code
in w32fns.c.

Those changes were first made by RMS - adding one kind of cursor
customization, and subsequently by me - adding (and consolidating)
even more cursor customization.
In RMS changes to w32term.c (!), I can see that he removed the
determination of the "active_cursor" state [which controls when
to move the system caret] -- probably because he just copied code
from xterm.c. In my subsequent change, based on RMS' code, I
consolidated what now looked as "identical" code (into xdisp.c).
So I would assume that the proper fix will be to reintroduce the
determination of the "active_cursor" state, either in
x_display_and_set_cursor in w32term.c, or (more generic) in
get_window_cursor_type in xdisp.c.
I'll look into fixing that asap.

I just committed a fix to again determine the active_cursor state;
please check whether that fixes the problem.

I hardly think that has anything to do with the fix I committed for the
system caret bug (thanks for checking that it works)!!!
I have recently had problems building emacs on GNU/Linux due to not
finding encoded-kb. Another round of make clean, configure, make
bootstrap is the only way around that when it happens.
So the real question is: what's happened [recently] with relation to
building emacs and encoded-kb ?

I haven't seen any problems with encoded-kb.el, but I was
having problems with code-pages.el yesterday.

I've found the same encoded-kb.el problem two or three times recently,
all of them cured by nmake realclean, configure, nmake bootstrap.

Well, I couldn't get rid of the encoded-kb problem no matter how many
times I tried nmake realclean configure nmake bootstrap ... I notice
some long command lines, perhaps there is a limit under 98, maybe
does emacs respond to the @ file convention as a response file?
This is just a guess.

Definitely.

I think this is right because what I did to resolve the thing was to
do a mmake realclean, configure, and nmake bootstrap. It stopped
when it was trying to to its first compiles with strange file not
found errors and so I compiled all the .el files by hand using only
one per command and then I did a regular nmake and that did it. So
if I might suggest a solution to the problem that builds under nt
just compile one .el file per invocation of emacs and I think that
would do it.

I just committed a fix to again determine the active_cursor state;
please check whether that fixes the problem.
Thanks. I changed the file w32fns.c because it was analogous
to the other place I was changing and because I knew we did not
have people working much on the windows port now.

There were changes made on 2002-08-28 and 2002-08-30 that
could be relevant. Both involved cursor related code
in w32fns.c.
Can someone verify whether these changes really make the difference?

I will tomorrow. I can test it with JAWS, the screen reader the company I
work for develops.

Yup, the change you made yesterday did solve the problem, but see my
note on compiling under Windows 98.

As already reported, those changes were indeed the reason, and I've already
committed changes to fix it.
