If user input never stops, redisplay will never happen (except if Emacs needs to display an urgent message or something). And we cannot really inhibit (i.e. pause) redisplay, because processing user input usually changes buffers' contents, and so the data structures built by the interrupted redisplay no longer reflect what's in the buffers. Thus, redisplay must start anew. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
