This is expected, and I tried to explain it in my message; sorry if I was unclear. The bidi Emacs is not ready to be a useful editor yet, it crashes very soon after you turn on the default-enable-bidi-display flag. I think this will happen even if you don't insert any character; just visiting a file with characters that require reordering should be enough. Please consider debugging the current code to fix the bugs. > #0 0x40278081 in kill () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 > #1 0x080efd8c in abort () at emacs.c:417 > #2 0x08094a30 in bidi_resolve_neutral (bidi_it=0xbfffdedc) at bidi.c:1438 > #3 0x08094f87 in bidi_level_of_next_char (bidi_it=0xbfffdedc) at bidi.c:1549 > #4 0x080952eb in bidi_get_next_char_visually (bidi_it=0xbfffdedc) at bidi.c:1725 The code in bidi.c where it crashes was written by me, so I should be able to help you figure out what's wrong. Unfortunately, I don't have time to debug it myself; that's why I asked for help here. _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
