>> Emacs on athena version 19.25.92.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.1, X toolkit)
>> of Wed Aug 3 1994 on w20-575-117 has a bug in its X-interface regarding how
>> the mouse works on the horizontal menu-bar on top:
>>
>> 1. If you click on an item and hold, the appropriate menu becomes visible. If
>> you then slide the mouse horizontally to a different item, another menu
>> becomes visible, as appropriate. If you release the mouse button, the
>> appropriate action is selected and the menu disappears.
>> THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS.
>>
>> 2. If you click-and-release on a menu item *real* fast, the menu remains
>> visible after the mouse-button was released. The menu does not change if
>> the mouse is pointed anywhere else, and does not disappear until another
>> click-and-release is performed to either select an item from the menu,
>> or get rid of the menu by clicking elsewhere.
>> THERE ARE STILL NO PROBLEMS.
>>
>> 3. If you click-and-release on a menu item faster than in (1.) but slower than
>> in (2.), the menu does not remain visible, but the item in the horizontal
>> menu-bar remains highlighted. If you now slide the mouse horizontally to a
>> different item on the horizontal menu-bar, emacs crashes with one of the
>> following error messages:
>>
>> Bus error emacs19
>>
>> Error: Couldn't find per display information
>>
>> Segmentation fault emacs19
>>
>> On our own DECstation waves, emacs 19.28.1 (mips-dec-ultrix4.2, X toolkit)
>> of Sat Nov 26 1994 does not have this bug. Behavior (3.) does not occur at all.
>>
>> However, waves is not on the athena network.
>>
>> I suggest that athena rebuilds emacs version 19.28 to eliminate this bug.

Just forwarding a bug report about emacs-19. If you could redirect to
the appropriate person, that would be great. I have suggested the
user use sendbug in the future. Thanks.
