+See eg http://debbugs.gnu.org/11129 + +This can happen when you start Emacs in -nw mode in an Xterm. +For example, in the *scratch* buffer, you might see something like: + + 0;276;0c + +This is more likely to happen if you are using Emacs over a slow +connection, and begin typing before Emacs is ready to respond. + +This occurs when Emacs tries to query the terminal to see what +capabilities it supports, and gets confused by the answer. +To avoid it, set xterm-extra-capabilities to a value other than +`check' (the default). See that variable's documentation (in +term/xterm.el) for more details. + -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
