- ** custom mode-line face makes Emacs freeze up
- 
- From: Stephen Berman <address@hidden>

- 
- 1. Start Emacs with -q -no-site-file.
- 
- 2. Type `M-x customize-face' and at the prompt `mode-line'.
- 
- 3. In the Custom buffer for mode-line face
-    a. check width and give it the value `narrow';
-    b. check height and give it the value 120 in 1/10 pt;
-    c. check underline and give it the value `on' (or `colored');
-    d. check overline and give it the value `on' (or `colored').
- 
- 4. Set for current session.
- 
- 5. Invoke Ediff on any two files.
- 
- 6. Now Emacs is frozen and consumes 95-99% of CPU.
- 
- The customizations in step 3 appear to be the minimum necessary to
- induce this bug.  Leave out any one of them and Ediff runs without a
- problem.  Also if the 1/10 point value of height is 130 or greater
- there's no bug (with the default font family; with e.g. Helvetica the
- bug is induced only by a value of 100 or less).
- 
- I've noticed this freeze up only when invoking Ediff.  The only thing
- I've been able to do is kill Emacs externally, via top or with kill
- when run in gdb, after interrupting.  When the freeze up happens
- within a gdb session, there is no automatic debugging feedback.  After
- interrupting I can get a backtrace, here's an example:
- 
- Update: Maybe only reveals itself when compiled with GTK+
