Subject: 23.1.50; menu-updating-frame stays set to dead frame
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 16:12:18 -0400

[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:

1) created second frame
2) killed second frame after some random editing
3) in first frame, on attempt to kill buffer saw:

menu-bar-non-minibuffer-window-p: Wrong type argument: frame-live-p, #<dead
frame [Gnu/Linux:robcvm] /home/rgiardina/emacs/rg-mac.el 0xaedc088>

checked that function, it checks the value of menu-updating-frame and uses
it here:

1564:(let ((menu-frame (or menu-updating-frame (selected-frame))))
1565:  (not (window-minibuffer-p (frame-selected-window menu-frame)))))

4) workaround: (setq menu-updating-frame nil)

perhaps menu-updating-frame needs to be nil'd on delete-frame near
frame.c:1436:

> /* Don't allow minibuf_window to remain on a deleted frame.  */
> if (EQ (f->minibuffer_window, minibuf_window))

regards,
rob

What is this rg-mac.el file supposed to be doing?  It's a little hard to
debug your custom code if we don't know how it's triggered.  Please
provide a self-contained recipe for reproducing this bug.  Thanks.

Sorry, not reproducible so far but I've seen it on many files. rg-mac.el is
my file of Mac OSX specific customizations.

You can see from the code I cited however that if that var is ever set to a
dead-frame, you'll have the problem.

If I run into a reproducible case, I'll certainly send it on.

Thanks for looking into it.

More information was requested almost two years ago, and hasn't
appeared, so I'm closing this report.  Please reopen if the bug is
reproducible.
