Subject: 27.2; Mouse face not cleared in some cases
Date: Sun, 24 Oct 2021 19:21:05 +0800

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

Increase the font size to something very large, like:

  ftcrhb:-ADBO-Source Code Pro-normal-normal-normal-*-167-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x3BD).

Then enter Info, find a hyperlink, resize the frame so that the
hyperlink is wrapped.  Occasionally, the mouse face will not be cleared
entirely, as in the attached screenshot.

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

This happens in both 27.2, 28 and 29.  Thanks.

I'm unable to reproduce the problem (in Emacs 29).  Here's what I tried:

./src/emacs -geometry -0+0  -Q  -fn "DejaVu Sans Mono-40"
M-x info RET

I scrolled down to the stand-alone info and hovered the mouse:

I also can't reproduce this here, using:

    ./src/emacs -Q -fn "Ubuntu Mono-40"

Same recipe as Lars.

Hmm... Try resizing the frame so the 'n' in "stand-alon" gets wrapped,
but no other character can take its place.

Thanks.

I tried resizing the window like that now, but I was still unable to see
the glitch.

I don't understand what situation needs to be created to see the
problem.  The screenshot shows just a handful of characters, and a
single incomplete screen line, so I cannot figure out what follows it
nor what kind of "hyperlink" is that.  I also don't understand what
should have caused the mouse face to be cleared (but didn't, according
to your report).

So please provide a more detailed recipe.

Thanks.

I meant to say that part of the mouse face background would remain, even
after the cursor was moved out of one of the links in Info.

But this could be a machine specific problem, because today I couldn't
reproduce the issue on another machine running the same software.

Thanks.

Try disabling optimizations in the video driver on the machine where
you see this.

So should we close this bug for now?

I think I've found the actual problem, at least for me: the problem
manifests when using Xwayland, but not when running under plain X.Org.

The other machine I used to test couldn't run Wayland due to the
presence of incompatible graphics drivers.

So this is indeed quite an odd bug.

> So should we close this bug for now?

Maybe it should be left around, in case someone else experiences it and
can shed more light on why it happens?

Thanks.
