Subject: Problem in Ubuntu with certain commands depending on mouse position
Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 01:36:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f3864eef-9b3f-201e-4374-ca1e2c0bef87@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am running Emacs 25.1 in Ubuntu 16.10. Whenever I have two frames open
and the mouse is positioned over
the other frame (i.e. not over the active one), certain commands like
'yank-pop' and 'dabbrev-expand' don't work properly. I figured out that
the issue is that, in these situations, the Alt key is producing a
<switch-frame> event on key-down.
I don't know enough about x-windows/emacs input to know why this event
is being produced in this situation. I filed a bug
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=26104 but the one
responder also didn't know the significance of the <switch-frame> being
produced here.
I don't mind trying to do some delving into the code and seeing if I can
fix the problem. However, I was wondering if anyone had any insight into
what was happening and why...?
Jonathan
