  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.
  43
  44 * BUGS
  45
  46 ** ams@gnu.org, 9 July: eshell and external commands
  47 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg00385.html
  48
  49 ** Check all non-file-scope static vars to make sure they
  50 won't lose on USG or HPUX systems.
  51
  52 ** davidk@lysator.liu.se, 21 Jun: display-buffer change.
  53
  54 * FIXES FOR EMACS 22.3
  55
  56 Here we list any small fixes that arrived too late for Emacs 22.2, but
  57 that should be installed on the release branch after 22.2 is released.
  58
  59 * DOCUMENTATION
  60
  61 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
  62
  63 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
  64 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
  65 language.  This should be followed by "See end for copying
  66 conditions", likewise in the respective language.
  67
  68 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
  69 names of the people who have checked it.
