  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?
  55 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01987.html
  56
  57 ** raman@users.sf.net, sep 7: Emacs 23.0.50: Segfaults in alloc.c (batch process)
  58 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg00690.html
  59
  60 ** grep et al should use font-lock to do highlighting, so that they respect font-lock-mode.
  61 "can't turn off font-lock"
  62 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg00548.html
  63

  66

  72 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01720.html
  73
  74 ** frames vs. weak hash tables and garbage collection
  75 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2007-08/msg00213.html
  76
  77 * DOCUMENTATION
  78
  79 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.

  81 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
  82 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
  83 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions",
  84 likewise in the respective language.
  85
  86 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
  87 names of the people who have checked it.
