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

Subject: Tool bar disabled on "show diary". Bug?
--text follows this line--
I am using emacs 22.2.1 on Windows XP
and
I used an init.el file consisting only of the form

(setq diary-file "~/.emacs.d/diary")

I then performed the following actions:

M-x calendar 
(in calendar window) right mouse click
select Show diary

RESULT: diary is shown, but tool bar is disabled.
        Tool bar is not reenabled until another file
        is visited.

NOTE: If one does not use the mouse but simply the  s key to show the diary, the tool bar is not affected.

IS THIS A BUG OR IS THERE A PURPOSE BEHIND THIS BEHAVIOR?

Regards,
bostjanv

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this on GNU/Linux.
Does it depend on the contents of your diary file?

Does anyone else see this?

No need to shout.

Information received off-list (see below) suggests this is
Windows-specific. I don't use Windows - can any Windows users help? It
sounds like some redisplay thing...

I haven't followed this, and I don't have time to look into it further, but just
in case it helps a bit:

I too have problems with the tool bar on Windows in Emacs 23 - have ever since
23 started. Tool bars keep showing up even though I have tool bars turned off.

I have fixed this in the Emacs 22 branch by resetting the mouse button 
state when coming out of the popup menu, as we don't get the up event in 
the Emacs window for the corresponding down event that caused the menu 
to be displayed.

FYI - The tool-bar problems I saw with Emacs 23 appear to be fixed in the
pretest (Emacs 22.2.91). HTH and Thx.

Thanks for confirming that the problem was not introduced by a change 
that also went into the Emacs 22 branch.

Sorry, I was confused. I was thinking this was an Emacs 23 pretest. The problem
still exists in Emacs 23. :-(
