Strange image artifact on El Capitan (10.11.1) #46

Closed jsquyres closed 8 years ago

jsquyres commented 9 years ago

I just downloaded and installed v24.5.1. When I do a search and don't find anything, I get a strange visual artifact in the middle of the emacs window:

2015-11-04_1727-emacs-oddity

Any idea what this is / how to fix it?

rakkesh commented 8 years ago

It seems to me that visible-bell is enabled, this is by default off. Check for it in your emacs startup file and try removing it.

jsquyres commented 8 years ago

Yes, true -- it is enabled. And disabling it avoids the problem.

But that doesn't solve the actual problem...

rakkesh commented 8 years ago

Sorry, I am not sure about a fix. I usually build emacs from git repo every 2-3 weeks, and I started seeing this problem about over a month back but never checked when this was introduced into emacs git repo as I have recently started using emacs-macport which flashes mini-buffer and top of the buffer when visible-bell is enabled.

Thanks for tracking it to visible-bell! I've had others report similar things but could never reproduce it locally. I'll forward this on to the main emacs bug tracker (this one is just for bugs in the build scripts themselves).

I filed this report with Emacs and so I'm going close this bug. You might check the bug I filed out since I uncovered more dirt on what is going on.

👍 for the insightful bug report.
