Subject: 27.1.91; Quitting GNU Emacs lets 'ccccc' appear in another X client
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2021 11:55:21 +0100
Hello!

I made this observation first in macOS 11.2.2, Big Sur, on intel hardware, while testing the release candidates of XQuartz, an application bundle of the X.org server 'xorg-server 1.19.7' with X11 libraries and clients. During these tests I launched the X server very often and made it launch XTerm(s) + GNU Emacsen 27.1.91 and 28.0.50 (Repository revision: 80e26472206cc44837521ba594cd50e724d9af5c, Repository branch: HEAD) via ~/.xinitrc. Of course I quit quite as many times, for which I had to type C-x C-c in the Emacsen.

It seems that both Emacsen share a certain behaviour: They can make the next available X client receive an infinite times the last character I typed in the GNU Emacs I just quit. (To end appearing the series of characters I regularly just press RET.) And when this X client is GNU Emacs, the C-x starting the quit action is swallowed and mini buffer shows C-c and waits for some more input.

The next X client receives a lot of 'c' when I could quit GNU Emacs directly with C-x C-c. When I had a changed file open I had to input y (or n) before Emacs quit. In this case the next X client received lots of 'y' (or, untested yet, presumingly 'n').

A test from this morning showed the same behaviour with xorg-server-devel 1.20.99.1.

Just made the observation that a RET can also be inserted (I had to acknowledge that a shell process was running and would die when quitting).

And when this X client is GNU Emacs, the C-x starting the quit action is swallowed and mini buffer shows C-c and waits for some more input.

I have to correct this: It's C-x that appears in mini buffer shows.

I also observed that mini buffer was high-lighted in red when I quit the other Emacs. When I then clicked into some window I saw the series of "ccccccc" appear. Hitting any key on the keyboard stops this input.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Do you still see this issue in recent Emacs/Macos versions?

No, not in this year. Tried in macOS High Sierra (old) and Monterey (recent).

Thanks; then I guess it's likely that it's disappeared through other
fixes in this area, and I'm therefore closing this bug report.  If you
see it again, please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
