Package: xemacs21 Version: 21.4.22-3.1 Severity: important Tags: squeeze patch
After an upgrade to the squeeze version, xemacs has a debilitating bug when LATeX files are being edited. Opening additional files results in the error "Window height 0 too small (after splitting)", as do various other file operations, making xemacs nearly impossible to use for people depending on LATeX. I finally found that it's a known issue upstream: http://tracker.xemacs.org/XEmacs/its/issue456 Unfortunately, the bug will only be fixed in 21.5 or the next stable release which will take a while. The developers seem to recommend a workaround that has been found here: http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2009-January/015719.html It involves changing a hard coded parameter in function mouse-read-file-name-1 in minibuf.el: from (split-window nil (- (frame-height frame) 3))) to: (split-window nil (- (frame-height frame) 5))) Byte-compiling minibus.el did not help, but by including (load-library "minibuf.el") in my init.el file the problem was finally fixed. A better solution is obviously to recompile xemacs, which is why I'm submitting this fix.
