Subject: bug#5011: 23.1.50; The {}\ characters seems to be impossible to write in non-terminal mode on Mac OS X 
Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:29:55 +0100

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.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

Using Emacs in terminal mode (with -nw) on Mac OS X is very pleasant,
but it is impossible to write the {}\ characters in non-terminal
mode. These characters are available in terminal mode using:

S-Alt-7 -> '\'
S-Alt-8 -> '{'
S-Alt-9 -> '}'

Using the same character sequence in non-terminal mode gives:

S-Alt-7 -> M-/
S-Alt-8 -> M-(
S-Alt-9 -> M-)

Best regards,
 jules

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'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
