Package: emacs20-el
Version 20.3-1
Partway through every ediff session in recent version of emacs, the
highlighting goes wrong. Instead of displaying with colored
backgrounds, the text displays with a default (white) background. The
foreground color is not the default, but is not what it should be,
either. This usually happens by about the fifth or sixth diff, and
stays broken the rest of the session. Typing ^L sometimes restores
correct highlighting, sometimes does nothing, and sometimes turns
correct highlighting into wrong highlighting.
This bug has been around in the Debian version since the first emacs
20. I'm running 20.2 on my Mac running LinuxPPC, and have never seen
this problem there. I've looked at other packages which use overlays,
but haven't seen similar problems in any of them.
I usually like to give bug reports with a little more detail, but emacs
is just too complicated. I'd be happy to provide screen snapshots if
you're not able to reproduce the bug.

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry that the bugs
were not fully resolved in due time.
emacs21 packages have been removed from testing in 2009 [1], not
present even in the current stable. Consequently, these bugs are now
orphan (without maintainer assigned) so they probably will not be
attended/noticed further.
[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs21.html
The bugs deemed valid are going to be verified and reassigned, but the
current bugs that I'm closing now are very ancient (more than 10 years
sometimes) and marked as unreproducible or fixed upstream years ago.
Please comment if you want think that some of the raised questions are
still pending and need to be addressed differently (e.g., reassigned
to other packages, etc.).
Cheers.
