  26
  27 * WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS
  28
  29 These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the
  30 attention of Windows users to fixing them.
  31
  32 ** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay display artifact: trace left behind
  33 Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
  34 to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.
  35
  36 ** henman@it.to-be.co.jp 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
  37   (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)
  38
  39 ** set-frame-size for frame without minibuffer loses mode line
  40 Probably a Windows only bug.  Reported by Drew Adams on bug-gnu-emacs on
  41 2007-08-07.  It seems that the bug manifests itself only if resizing the
  42 frame makes the menu bar wrap before.  On 2007-08-16 Glenn Morris
  43 reported on emacs-devel that he was not able to reproduce the bug on a
  44 GNU/Linux system.
  45
  46 * BUGS WAITING FOR MORE USER INPUT

  56
  57 ** Does deleting frames run Lisp code?  If so, can we get rid of that?
  58 It is a dangerous design.
  59 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01330.html
  60
  61 ** Why were the calls to x_fully_uncatch_errors commented out in eval.c?
  62 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01987.html
  63
  64 ** grep et al should use font-lock to do highlighting, so that they respect font-lock-mode.

  73 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg01816.html

  77
  78 ** herring@lanl.gov: find-func: can no longer find adviced subrs

  80
  81 ** \\{...} produces duplicate entries
  82 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-05/msg00209.html
  83

  88 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-07/msg00103.html

  90 ** rms: gnus-dired.el is a mistake.  Those features should not
  91 be part of Gnus.  They should be moved to some other part of Emacs.
  92
  93 * DOCUMENTATION
  94
  95 ** Check the Emacs Tutorial.
  96
  97 The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
  98 period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
  99 language. This should be followed by "See end for copying conditions",
 100 likewise in the respective language.
 101
 102 After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
 103 names of the people who have checked it.
