Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2008 06:15:51 -0900

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

0. Extract the enclosed files to /tmp

1. Evaluate:

  (custom-set-variables
   '(ediff-skip-merge-regions-that-differ-from-default t)
  )
  (ediff "/tmp/x" "/tmp/y")
  
2. Hit the spacebar

Result: "You have killed a vital Ediff buffer---you must leave Ediff
now!"

This happens even with "emacs -q"

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying.  Are you trying to say
that the border-width frame parameter has no effect on tooltip frames?

No, just function `tooltip-show' can't display border even set border-width.

Umm, I think that means the border-width frame parameter has no effect
on tooltip frames.  Fixed, thanks.

Thank you.

But have another bug with tooltip display.
If text that show in tooltip is too width or too height, the *right* or
*bottom" border can't display in tooltip.

Did this end up getting fixed?  I can't reproduce this on Emacs 25.

I'll close this if I don't hear anything in a week or so.
