The menu bar is not displayed at the top, although if you point and click with the mouse you can still pull down the menu. The minibuffer no longer displays correctly (it is stuck on something like "executing g77 ..." and doesn't echo commands. If I change the buffer with the mouse menu, the new buffer tries to occupy the minibuffer position. The status bar displays correctly for 25x80 mode. This is the windows port of emacs (from djgpp, I think). I don't know what you mean by "full screen mode", but maximising the window makes no difference to the size of emacs or it's perceived functioning. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eli Zaretskii" To: Cc: Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 3:38 PM Subject: Re: mode4350 on Windows XP > > From: "Julian Berengut" > > Date: Tue, 7 May 2002 10:00:32 +1000 > > > > Running on Windows XP. > > > > Enter mode4350. > > > > Compile a fortran program using 'M-x compile' then 'g77 file.f -o file.exe'. > > > > emacs reverts to standard size and display is broken. > > Thank you for your report. > > Please tell the details about how exactly is the display ``broken''. > I'm trying to determine whether what you see is a manifestation of > some bug, or some usage inconvenience that can be handled by > customizations. > > It could also be due to some issue specific to Windows XP.
