From: Anders Kaseorg <andersk <at> MIT.EDU> To: 7212 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#7212: 23.2; GTK+ Emacs hangs when focused by clicking on blank part of menu bar Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 20:26:05 -0400
When using a GTK+ Emacs window, if I focus another application, then refocus Emacs by clicking on the blank part of the Emacs menu bar (to the right of the Help menu), the Emacs window stops responding: • It is no longer possible to type into the buffer or run commands from the keyboard. • The arrow keys do nothing but select toolbar buttons; Tab moves back to the first toolbar button. • Using the toolbar buttons with either the keyboard or the mouse writes (e.g.) “tool-bar new-file” to the minibuf, but have no other effect. • The toolbar can be detached, and the keyboard or mouse can be used to select things on the detached toolbar, but they still have no effect. • The scroll bar can be dragged around but does not move the buffer. • The window frame can be resized, but neither the buffers nor the scrollbar are redrawn at the new size. • If the window was an emacsclient frame, all other open emacsclient frames, both graphical and terminal, stop responding in the same way. • If I open a new emacsclient frame (of either type), I get a completely white window except for the caption “When done with this frame, type C-x 5 0”. If I click on one of the menus (sometimes two clicks are required), it opens, and after the menu is dismissed, Emacs begins responding normally again. This is the only way I’ve found to unfreeze it from this state.
