Full log
Message #14 received at 24707 <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
What was your previous version of Emacs?
-- From the DNF log cleanup messages it appears the package version was
emacs-1:24.5-10.fc23.x86_64. The installed package is now listed as
emacs-25.1-1.fc24.x86_64
> Firefox, Thunderbird, gimp, etc. all open their window(s) normally on
> my remotely connected system.
What happens if you invoke "emacs -q" (lowercase 'q')? Do you see the
splash screen with the GNU image?
-- I'm not able to capture video of my screen, but it appears I get a black
screen briefly before the normal Emacs window appears which then shrinks. I
am not seeing the logo explicitly, but the switch too fast to determine
whether or not an image actually appears. With no arguments other than "-q"
it ends up in the "Welcome to GNU Emacs, one component ..." window. I could
try capturing the screen via smartphone video if that would help then I
could look at it one frame at a time.
> I did, however, make a discovery later after reporting the problem:
> When connected remotely, I found that the bash shell DISPLAY
> environment variable is set to "localhost:10.0". If I set DISPLAY to
> my remote system's actual address ("192.168.0.103:0"), the window
> opens normally and doesn't shrink after opening.
Later you wrote (again, in a private email):
> I take back the discovery; It's back to shrinking the window this
> morning even with DISPLAY set to the actual address.
-- Indeed I cannot explain why it appeared to work correctly last night with
the modified DISPLAY value but not now.
