I'm long had the same problem with a variety of different Emacs builds (var=
ious builds from from http://emacsformacosx.com as well as a couple of home=
brew builds). It was not always this way, but I can't put my finger on the =
exact change that triggered this behavior. Currently running OS X 10.10.5 o=
n an early 2013 13" MBP with 16 GB RAM. I would love to know the solution t=
o this problem.
