I have been a long-time user of EMACS on OS X, but have come upon a new
problem running any of the current Carbon EMACS distributions on Tiger (
I'm running 10.4.2). This bug arises when opening multiple EMACS
windows using the c-x 52 command. Specifically, when I open the first
EMACS window (when starting up the application) I get a normal-looking
window with proper resolution of all alpha-numeric characters in the
frame. However, when I open a second window (using c-x 52) that new
frame is displayed at a MUCH coarser resolution than is normal. It
looks as though the frame contains many fewer pixels than the first,
because now all alpha-numeric characters are displayed so coarsely that
you can see individual pixels making up each individual character.
However, when opening a THIRD window, that window is now displayed at
the same high resolution as the first! And when opening a FOURTH
window, I get the same coarse display of the SECOND!! This
"fine-coarse" pattern continues for every pair of windows opened using
c-x 52. I have installed several different Tiger-compatible Carbon
EMACS distributions and all have the same bug.
I'd like to get this bug fixed, so I don't have to keep opening pairs of
windows (deleting the ODD-ordered one) to insure that all my working
windows have the same high resolution.
How recently were these Tiger-compatible Carbon Emacs distributions
updated from CVS?
Does this happen when you start emacs with both the -q (aka
--no--init-file) and --no-site-file options?
Perhaps the before-make-frame-hook or after-make-frame-functions
variables have been customized and are toggling some display feature
(use `C-h v' to see their values).
