bug#29974: Emacs-25.3 does not render correctly when itrans input method is enabled

[Aviral Goel]

Dear Eli,

You are right. The m17n libraries are outdated. I updated them and recompiled Emacs 25.3 but the problem persisted.

Due to time constraints, I am not looking forward to debugging this issue further. 

I will continue working with  Emacs 24.5.1 for now. 

Hopefully when I upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04, I will get new m17n libraries with Emacs 25.x and this issue won't show up.

​Thanks

,

I cannot reproduce this.  I'm not on Ubuntu, so this probably means
your m17n libraries are either outdated, or they have a bug.

Maybe Emacs 24 was built against different versions of the libraries
that participate in shaping complex scripts?
