Platforms:
SPARC running SunOs 4.1.[12]
and
sun3 running SunOS 4.0.3
Window manager:
OpenWindows 2.0 or 3.0
Problem:
There is a problem updating the minibuffer on these platforms (we're
unable to test if it works on other platforms). Specifically, the
'recenter' command, default binding to C-l, causes the minibuffer to
be redisplayed in such a fashion that the first character is printed,
the rest of the line is blank, and the cursor (point) is positioned at
the correct place.
Example: if the line should be ('^' represents point):
Find file: ~/epoch/src/^
----------------------------------------------------------------
After executing 'recenter', the line would be:
F ^
----------------------------------------------------------------
This problem is particularly annoying when epoch decides to do garbage
collection while you are trying to load a file. The
'Garbage collecting...done' message wipes out the 'Find file:'
message, and there seems no way to get it back.
================================================================
Any solutions pointers? Sure would help as I'm new to the epoch/emacs
world.
Cheers,
ger
