Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen.
Be sure to consult the FAQ section in the manual before submitting a bug report. In addition check if the bug is reproducable with an up-to-date version of AUCTeX. So please upgrade to the version available from http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/ if your installation is older than the one available from the web site. If the bug is triggered by a specific (La)TeX file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file showing the problem and include it in your report. Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've just tracked down a really bizarre window manager problem to TeX-evince-sync-view: I noticed that when launching evince using this command (and only then), Alt+Tab stopped working on my GNOME 3 desktop. I discovered by instrumenting the Alt+Tab extension I use that this was because Mutter (the Window manager) was confused by a timestamp on an X event that was much larger than the current X clock time (which is ms since X server was started). To cut a long story short, I finally discovered that the time value in the bogus time stamps was "the same" as that produced by float-time. This explains why I only had the problem on one machine out of two: on the other one, the X server timestamps were bigger numbers than the real time in seconds, because the X server had been running sufficiently long. There's a comment in the code that says: ;; FIXME: Evince wants a timestamp as UInt32, but POSIX time ;; is too large for emacs integers on 32 bit systems. Emacs ;; 24.2 will allow providing DBUS ints as floats, and this ;; dbus version will be identifiable by its new variables ;; `dbus-compiled-version' and `dbus-runtime-version'. But ;; it seems providing just 1 as timestamp has no negative ;; consequences, anyway. As far as I can tell, the first part is incomplete: the timestamp required is specifically an X timestamp, as something (Evince? DBus?) uses it to set the timestamp of an X event (at least, when Emacs and Evince are running on X). However, the second part gives a solution: if I change the code so that it always passes 1 as the timestamp, everything works fine, because the first time the WM examines the window, it updates the timestamp to the current time (whereas when it finds a timestamp in the future it cautiously invokes some workaround, with the result that things stop working). There are obviously things going on here that I don't understand (I know nothing about X, DBus, or Evince internals), but all I can say is that the time argument is definitely being bogusly used as an X timestamp, which causes really weird behavior, and that passing 1 instead seems, as intimated by the comment, to cause no problem whatsoever.
