- I have just started using lucid-emacs (after using Epoch off & on for a
- long while). I am quite impressed. It all seems nicely done.
-
- I have seen several examples of Wrong argument type: errors. The two most
- repeatable ones:
- 1) if you click button1 on a mode line, you get: windowp, nil
- 2) in some newsgroups in GNUS, I get: syntax-table-p, nil
- (as it happens, it's in alt.sex. I have a couple of marked articles
- followed by some deleted articles (possibly followed by unread ones). If I
- do "C-U " and answer a smaller number than the number following the marked
- articles, then everything works fine. If it has to scan back it gets
- problems.)
-
- I think I also saw another one somewhere, but I don't remember where.
