  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.
  43 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01497.html
  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.
  53 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2007-09/msg00055.html
  54
  55 * BUGS
  56
  57 ** lekktu@gmail.com, Oct 11: frame-local variables weirdness
  58 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-10/msg00519.html
  59 I proposed a patch, which fixed this and seemed right, but the patch
  60 caused other problems.  They are being investigated now.
  61
  62 * DOCUMENTATION
  63
  64 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
  65
  66 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
  67 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
  68 language.  This should be followed by "See end for copying
  69 conditions", likewise in the respective language.
  70
  71 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
  72 names of the people who have checked it.
