  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 ** set-frame-size for frame without minibuffer loses mode line
  38 Probably a Windows only bug.  Reported by Drew Adams on bug-gnu-emacs on
  39 2007-08-07.  It seems that the bug manifests itself only if resizing the
  40 frame makes the menu bar wrap before.  On 2007-08-16 Glenn Morris
  41 reported on emacs-devel that he was not able to reproduce the bug on a
  42 GNU/Linux system.

 101 * FIXES FOR EMACS 22.3
 102
 103 Here we list any small fixes that arrived too late for Emacs 22.2, but
 104 that should be installed on the release branch after 22.2 is released.
 105
 106 * DOCUMENTATION
 107
 108 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
 109
 110 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
 111 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
 112 language.  This should be followed by "See end for copying
 113 conditions", likewise in the respective language.
 114
 115 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
 116 names of the people who have checked it.
