David,

This problem went away in a new build shortly after I reported it: I've been following the discussion on emacs-devel and I see that there were problems with a patch which were subsequently resolved. Just to make sure, I just now started Emacs with -Q as you ask, and it seems to run fine; ditto with moving org.gnu.Emacs.plist.

Thanks for getting back to me, though! I'm a long-time emacs user and I'm really happy to see this Cocoa implementation reaching maturity -- great work! Be sure to let me know if there's anything else I can do: my C-coding skills are non-existent, and my Lisp is too rusty for me to be of much use, but I'd be happy to help out if I can be of any service.

Can you please start Emacs with "-Q" , e.g. as

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q

... does this still occur?

What happens if you move ~/Library/Preferences/org.gnu.Emacs.plist out of the way?
