  25 * WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS.
  26
  27 These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the
  28 attention of Windows users to fixing them.
  29
  30 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
  31 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
  32 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.
  33
  34 ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
  35   (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)
  36
  37 * BUGS WAITING FOR MORE USER INPUT
  38
  39 ** undefined reference getopt_long
  40 Report by Daniel C. Bastos <dbast0s@yahoo.com.br> on bug-gnu-emacs
  41 from 2007-08-27.  Impossible to procede without more input from OP (as
  42 of 20070912, emails are bouncing) or someone else who can reproduce this.

  44
  45 ** TAGS buffer generates spurious undo warnings
  46 Waiting for recipe to produce these warnings.
  47 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2007-09/msg00070.html
  48
  49 ** emacs-22.1 with GTK problems (with patches)
  50 Only outstanding issue seems to be whether Solaris 2.6 GTK can be
  51 supported in the absence of recursive mutexes, via a change to
  52 alloc.c, or whether configure should abort.

  54
  55 * BUGS
  56
  57 ** ams@gnu.org, 9 July: eshell and external commands
  58 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg00385.html
  59
  60 ** jbw@macs.hw.ac.uk, Sep 19: redisplay goes horribly wrong when a
  61 before-string contains multiple display properties
  62 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg02442.html
  63
  64 ** jbw@macs.hw.ac.uk, Sep 19: part of display property on before-string
  65  property is not displayed
  66 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-10/msg00138.html
  67
  68 ** lekktu@gmail.com, Oct 11: frame-local variables weirdness
  69 I proposed a patch, which fixed this and seemed right, but the patch
  70 caused other problems.  They are being investigated now.
  71
  72
  73 * DOCUMENTATION
  74
  75 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
  76
  77 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
  78 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
  79 language.  This should be followed by "See end for copying
  80 conditions", likewise in the respective language.
  81
  82 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
  83 names of the people who have checked it.
