Hello,
While running gnu emacs under sunview on a Sun 3/50 using an emacstool
window, I received the following message in the minibuffer:
Wrong type argument: natnump, #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o171) Save your
buffers immediately and please report this bug>
The action which caused the above message was a left-button mouse hit
with META key depressed on the extreme left edge of the window. This should
have invoked the command mouse-line-to-top. It did nothing THIS particular
time, although the rest of the editing session (including many mouse hits)
worked fine. My buffer was not damaged, and I continued editing. Attempts
to recreate the "bug" were unsuccessful.
Info:
emacs version: 18.55.3 , running in an emacstool window under sunview
machine: Sun 3/50
emacstool invoked by the following line in my .sunview file:
emacstool -WI /usr/share/local/icons/emacs.icon -Ww 90 -Wh 50 -Wp 2 2\
-WP 840 0 -Wf 0 0 0 -Wb 255 255 255 -Wg
major mode: fundamental
minor mode: remote (using remote.el version 3.11 by Eric Raible)
raible@orville.nas.nasa.gov
window was expanded to "full screen" size
