Package: emacs23 Version: 23.1+1-5 Severity: normal Steps to reproduce:
- on a terminal: emacs -q & - in emacs' X frame: M-x server-start<RET> - in the terminal again: emacsclient -t foo - then type some letters into the "foo" buffer without saving it - C-x # (server-edit) - answer 'n' to the question "Save file /home/user/foo? (y or n)" - in emacs' X frame: the question "Buffer foo modified; kill anyway? (yes or no)" appears In certain circumstances (e.g. when logged in over ssh) this would cause emacs to block for me. To reproduce this behaviour, go to the terminal and simply type: emacsclient -n -t -e '(y-or-n-p "Should I block?")' This will cause any subsequent emacsclient -t to stop accepting input, after opening the frame on a tty. As soon as any character is entered in the X frame, the tty frames will accept input again, but that might be difficult to achieve over ssh: I occasionally had to connect to my home box with vnc to unstick my emacs. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'karmic'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages emacs23 depends on: ii emacs23-bin-common 23.1+1-5 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, arc ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libasound2 1.0.23-1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.8-2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.0-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgif4 4.1.6-9 library for GIF images (library) ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgpm2 1.20.4-3.3 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libm17n-0 1.6.1-1 a multilingual text processing lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libotf0 0.9.11-1 A Library for handling OpenType Fo ii libpango1.0-0 1.26.2-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii librsvg2-2 2.26.3-1 SAX-based renderer library for SVG ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libtiff4 3.9.4-1 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.14-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxpm4 1:3.5.8-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime emacs23 recommends no packages.
