Subject: 24.3.50; Cygwin Emacs gets stuck when yanking a text
Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2012 18:23:51 +0900

Hi,

It is annoying that Cygwin Emacs often gets stuck when yanking
a text from a Windows application.  C-g seems to be effective
though it takes tens of seconds.  I don't know what Emacs tries
to yank, but it sometimes shows the message "!MEM FULL!" on
the mode line moreover.  I wish it could work like on Linux.

Thanks.

Can you give a recipe for reproducing this problem?

Does it only happen with a build from the trunk?  Or do you see this 
problem with Emacs 24.2 and/or a build from the emacs-24 branch?

Is it specific to the Lucid toolkit or does it also happen with a GTK+ 
build (as in the version of Emacs in the Cygwin distribution)?

Ken

Thanks for following this up.  I'll report more precise recipe
and additional infos tomorrow.  (I'm on Linux in home.)

Strangely I'm unable to reproduce the problem today.  Even
the copying of Excel's cell is successful; a text component of
the cell is yanked regardless of whether it is ASCII text or
non-ASCII text.  So, I'll close this thread if it doesn't seem
to happen anymore, within a week maybe.

Until yesterday it was happening since I started to use Cygwin
for work early in the last year.  So, it is not a matter on only
24.3.50.  I can recall it happened with not only Lucid Emacs I
built from the bzr source but also GTK Emacs Cygwin distributed.
Any Windows application had a difficulty on copying and yanking
text to Emacs.

I had a knack to do it successfully, though it is not necessarily
100% effective.  That is to yank a text to Emacs in a single
action, i.e., click the mouse-2 button on an Emacs frame without
touching anything of inside of frame's matte.

P.S. I've updated the Cygwin installation using SETUP.EXE today
for the first time in a week.  Emacs is being built every day.

Closed.  Sorry for the noise.
