If you try selecting something from any menu but the last, it'll crash. I have the fixes.

If you're hitting tabs, you might try recompiling with -DMEYN (which changes the mouse interaction with tabs, among other things). Please send direct mail about this one if it's not one of those cases. > * when directories are displayed by browser in menu bar, > highlighting does not cover ending slash in directory name. That's because we're trying to make the menu bar look like a path name. I think fixing it so that the everything works right will require working on the insides of intuition. If someone does have a fix, forward it. I'm not going to be looking for it (more important things to do....). > * program does not know df1: does not exist on a one-drive > system. attempts to access df1: result in system requester > asking user to place volume df1 in any drive. Already fixed by Mic. It now finds only real devices + assigns. It also always finds ram:. > * the function just-one-space is default bound to M-SPC. Big > GNU binds this to M-\. Sorry, but my version of GNU has "delete-horizontal-space" bound to M-\. The mg bindings are baseed on 16 or so. I'm using 17 now. When we go to 18, I'll correct the bindings to match (probably released in mg2). > * fill-paragraph doesn't work properly when the first line of > the paragraph is indented with a tab. Consider the following > example: Right, but incomplete. Any whitespace at the beginning of the paragraph will cause this problem. I'm not working on a fix, though. The paragraphing code was an afterthought (stolen from 3.6 or 3.7 :-). If you've got a fix, please mail it to me. >I seem to remember Mike Meyer mentioning that some of these bugs have >been fixed in subsequent incarnations of MG (the browser crash bug, at >least). Mike, is there any way you might be enticed to post diffs for >the bug fixes on the net? Ok, I'll say it again. The mg that just went through mod.sources is identical to what was on the Fish disks. I have a collection of bug fixes/performance enhancements from around the net that are "mg1b". Since someone asked, "mg" is the name (short for MicroGnemacs), 1 is the version, and b is the release. I've put this in the mail to Mic, and am waiting for some other things to start working. I hope to get the whole package to mod.sources + Fred Fish before the end of the month. I'd like to claim before the end of the week, but don't think I can make it.... After that, I plan to start on mg2. This will mostly be an internal reorganization so that I (among others) can maintain multiple versions without have to hack on makefiles, and recompile everything when I touch anything. Those of you who've done kernel work for 4.[23]BSD know what my model looks like.
