Our EMACS seems to have developed a strange problem lately that
nobody can explain (there are no apparent software changes):
Over an Interlisp-D CHAT connection, EMACS is not responding to
cursor positioning commands sent by the mouse. For example, the mouse
would say C-U 4 C-F and the cursor would just stay still. If you
refresh the screen with a ^L you *will* find the cursor in the correct
place. If you type the command by hand it works! We have determined
that EMACS *is* seeing the commands (via ^_L) but is *not* sending
cursor positioning back to the NVT (running EMACS under PHOTO.) It
*did* work about two weeks ago just fine but is not working now. Does
anyone have any possible explaination?
Jeff
P.S. The particulars are:
The CHAT program emulates a DM2500
We are using EMACS version 162 on a DEC-20
