These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the attention of Windows users to fixing them. ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind Windows only bug.

Impossible to procede without more input from OP (as of 20070912, emails are bouncing) or someone else who can reproduce this. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01497.html ** emacs-22.1 with GTK problems (with patches) Only outstanding issue seems to be whether Solaris 2.6 GTK can be supported in the absence of recursive mutexes, via a change to alloc.c, or whether configure should abort. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2007-09/msg00055.html * BUGS ** david.reitter@gmail.com, 27 dec: pos-visible-in-window-p at ellipsis http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg00945.html ** diff mode change for missing spaces in -u format.

After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the names of the people who have checked it.
