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:

The dialogue panel which appear for example while trying to save the
change in an option (accessed through options menu) in emacs (version
description below) in graphical mode (OS X 10.5.4) hangs Emacs.

The same behavior occurs for example with a dialogue panel offered by
preview.el (as included in AucTeX) about Caching or not caching TeX
preamble. This one can be avoided by selecting this option in the menu
as opposed to waiting for preview to ask the question through its
dialogue panel. Or for example trying to send this mail through the  
Mail > Send Message
menu....

On another subject (maybe not a bug) the traditional behavior of the
Mac keyboard is not respected as opposed to the correct behavior in
the Carbon version of emacs.app. For example the key sequence "option
e" e (which should produce a acute accented e) is not recognized
whatever the choice (alt, meta, hyper etc) for coding of the Option
key. Again I do not know if this is intentional or a bug.

Anyway thanks for an already very solid Cocoa/NeXTStep port.

Paul

Subject: on accented caracters with Apple keybord
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:05:29 +0200

Hello,

at the end of my bug report I made a remark about accented characters  
not working with apple keyboard. I mentioned I did not know if this  
was a bug. Actually it is not and my comment was misguided. One just  
has to set the Modifier Alt/Opt key to NONE in the preferences (or  
through Options mac group) and the keyboard works as intended. Sorry  
for this.

The bug about Dialogue panels though still stands as a bug.

Best

Paul

Hello,

Could you please provide a precise recipe to replicate this bug  
starting from scratch?  E.g., when I use the "Save Options" choice  
under the "Options" menu, it does not pop any dialog.

thanks,
Adrian

Closing, myself and reporter unable to replicate, seems to be fixed.
