  32 * BUGS
  33
  34 ** Romain Francoise <romain@orebokech.com>, Aug 2:
  35   Abort at end of Fbyte_code because specpdl did not balance.
  36
  37 ** lennart.borgman July 27: Custom and mode-line-format default
  38    M-x customize-option RET mode-line-format RET
  39
  40 and then click the button "Erase Customization". This will set
  41 mode-line-format to "%-" which does not seem to be useful.
  42
  43
  44 ** bojohan's and johnsu01@wjsullivan.net's 18 July bug reports that
  45   "C-n doesn't work in Customize Option buffer in -nw with long value
  46   displayed".  Yidong proposed a fix, but needs a field expert to check
  47   it.
  48
  49 ** Markus Gritsch's report about Emacs looping on Windoze with the following
  50 .emacs file, and then reduce Emacs frame width to "something quite narrow":
  51         (setq-default truncate-lines t)
  52         (custom-set-variables
  53          '(hscroll-margin 20)
  54          '(hscroll-step 1)
  55         )
  56
  57 ** David Kastrup's report on strange scrolling of large images.
  58
  59 ** Jorgen Schaefer <forcer@forcix.cx>'s June 18 bug report about
  60   fields and invisible overlays needs attention from a field expert.
  61
  62 ** Implement buffer-chars-modified-tick.
  63
  64 * DOCUMENTATION
  65
  66 ** Check the Emacs Lisp manual.
  67
  68 Each manual section should be checked for factual correctness
  69 regarding recent changes by at least two people.  After each file
  70 name, on the same line or the following line, come the names of the
  71 people who have checked it.
