24.3; *grep* fails to display line numbers with global-linum-mode |
|

The following should produce a *grep* buffer:
emacs -q
M-x global-linum-mode
^x^f ~
M-x grep
a *
Note that only the first four lines of the *grep* buffer have line
numbers when all the visible lines should have line numbers. Switching
to the new *grep* buffer dones make the line numbers appear.

So the solution here was to use nlinum instead of linum. We now also
have display-numbers-mode.
Since there also have been no further updates here within 6 years, I'm
closing this bug now.
