Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Start emacs by:
emacs -nw --no-init
Then do the following:
Split the window vertically: C-x 2 (split-window-vertically)
Split the window horizontally: C-x 3 (split-window-horizontally)
Enlarge the window: C-x ^ (enlarge-window)
The window setup should look something like:
+--------+--------+
|c | |
| 1 | 2 |
+--------+--------+
| |
| 3 |
+-----------------+
c indicates the position of the cursor, numbers indicate which window
I am referring to.
After these three actions, window 2 "flashes" with every key I type.
Usually it alternates between showing the contents of window 2 missing
the mode line and showing the mode line of window2 but not the
contents. Sometimes (although I couldn't reproduce it, window 2
disappears all together (no content and no mode line). I realize this
probably isn't very clear, so I set up a page of screenshots and
description of keystroke sequences at:
http://www2.msstate.edu/~cfy1/emacs/bug/
I also get this behavior with GNU Emacs 21.0.105.2
(i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit) on the same system, and with GNU
Emacs 21.0.104.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.6, X toolkit) on our school's sun
box.
This behavior only happens in text mode. I have verified it on my
potato box in Eterm, in a stock xterm, and on the console
(TERM=linux).
