Re: emacs 21.2 odd behavior in shell window

[Tom Wurgler]

There's more.  I had already tried "emacs -q" to not load my local .emacs file.
But I had linked in libraries for jpeg/png/tif/gif etc, so my execuatable wasn't
a bare bones case.

So I tried NOT including those libs.  The cursor issue was still there, BUT I
saw that configure still found XPM, UNGIF and PNG

So I then configure as follows:

./configure --without-xpm --without-ungif --without-png

It still says it used ungif(?).  Here is a portion of the output from configure:

Configured for `hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00'.

  Where should the build process find the source code?    
/home/rdstt1/t901353/src/emacs-21.2
  What operating system and machine description files should Emacs use?
        `s/hpux11.h' and `m/hp800.h'
  What compiler should emacs be built with?               gcc -g -O2
  Should Emacs use the GNU version of malloc?             yes
  Should Emacs use a relocating allocator for buffers?    yes
  Should Emacs use mmap(2) for buffer allocation?         no
  What window system should Emacs use?                    x11
  What toolkit should Emacs use?                          none
  Where do we find X Windows header files?                Standard dirs
  Where do we find X Windows libraries?                   Standard dirs
  Does Emacs use -lXaw3d?                                 no
  Does Emacs use -lXpm?                                   no
  Does Emacs use -ljpeg?                                  no
  Does Emacs use -ltiff?                                  no
  Does Emacs use -lungif?                                 yes
  Does Emacs use -lpng?                                   no
  Does Emacs use X toolkit scroll bars?                   no

And now the cursor blinks properly and I can't get it to fail.

I will try adding one thing at a time.

Eli,

I now discover that the cursor goes off by just moving the mouse too.

thanks

Now I tried: `blink-cursor-mode' command.

Initially, behavior is as described before.

After running `blink-cursor-mode', cursor stays solid and I can't get it to
fail.

I rerun `blink-cursor-mode' and the old (bad) behavior comes back.

thanks

tom
