I am admittedly not a power user of emacs bugs so I couldn't determine 
whether a bug has been filed against emacsclient for this yet, but
here is the bug:


Environment and how to duplicate:

Ubuntu 14.04 base install with the following default emacs packages install
emacs
emacs-goodies-el
emacs24
emacs24-bin-common
emacs24-common
emacs24-common-non-dfsg
emacsen-common


/usr/bin/emacsclient  tmp.c
M-x outline-minor-mode

# The outline menu shows up and I can use it.

Now if I do


M-x server-start

#
# The outline menu no longer works.
#

This same problem also occurs for

Latex Menu  and GNU Global ( ggtags-mode ).


This appears to be a bug since these menus once previously worked.

(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately not gotten
any responses.)

I tried this in Emacs 27, and I was unable to reproduce it.

I did:

$ emacs -Q
`M-x server-start'
$ emacsclient /tmp/foo
`M-x outline-mode'

(I got the outline menu.)

`M-x server-start'

It prompts me to whether to shut down the server, and I say yes.  The
outline menu remains in the buffer.

If you're still seeing this, how do you reproduce the bug?

More information was requested, but none was given within 1 year, so I'm
closing this bug.  If this is still an issue, please reply to this email
(use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can reopen the bug
report.
