This is a bug report for the PATCHED Emacs+EmacsW32. Please test the unpatched version of Emacs+EmacsW32 before reporting if you can. If the bug is also in the unpatched version then report from the unpatched version else report here.
If it is very inconvenient for you to try the unpatched version, but you believe the bug is not related to the patches then you may change the address above to bug-gnu-em...@gnu.org For easy to read information about the patches see EmacsW32 home page. This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation, not to your local site managers! Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs+EmacsW32 maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your report will be posted to the help-emacs-windows@gnu.org mailing list and the gnu.emacs.bug news group, and at http://debbugs.gnu.org. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': emacsclient does not raise the frame when invoked. Also, this version of emacsclient doesn't raise the frame when invoking emacsclient.exe explicitly with the function `select-frame-by-name' The icon just blinks for a few seconds. These both worked (emacsclient and emacsclient --eval'ing a function calling `select-frame-by-name') in the emacsclient version: In GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2009-11-03 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched) Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600 configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Ic:/g/include' Is there a later version of emacsclient.exe (latest emacs 24 trunk version) that has this previous capability? Thanks. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
