  28
  29 * WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS.
  30
  31 These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the
  32 attention of Windows users to fixing them.
  33
  34 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
  35 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
  36 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.
  37
  38 ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
  39   (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)
  40
  41 ** set-frame-size for frame without minibuffer loses mode line
  42 Probably a Windows only bug.  Reported by Drew Adams on bug-gnu-emacs on
  43 2007-08-07.  It seems that the bug manifests itself only if resizing the
  44 frame makes the menu bar wrap before.  On 2007-08-16 Glenn Morris
  45 reported on emacs-devel that he was not able to reproduce the bug on a
  46 GNU/Linux system.
  47
  48 * BUGS
  49
  50 ** Does deleting frames run Lisp code?  If so, can we get rid of that?
  51 It is a dangerous design.
  52 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01330.html
  53
  54 ** Why were the calls to x_fully_uncatch_errors commented out in eval.c?

  56
  57 ** raman@users.sf.net, sep 7: Emacs 23.0.50: Segfaults in alloc.c (batch process)

  61 "can't turn off font-lock"
