Subject: 24.0.50; tooltip-mode disabled interferes with x-popup-menu prompts
Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 14:19:13 -0800

emacs -Q

1. Eval this:

(defun foo (event)
  "..."
  (interactive "e")
  (sit-for 0)
  (let ((selection
	 (x-popup-menu
	  event
	  '("Foo" (""
		   ("Bar" . ignore)
		   ("Toto" . picture-clear-rectangle-to-register))))))
    (and selection (call-interactively selection))))

(global-set-key [mouse-3] 'foo)

2. M-x picture-mode

3. Click mouse-1 somewhere then mouse-3 somewhere else.
Choose Toto in the menu.

You will see the `read-char' prompt from
`picture-clear-rectangle-to-register' in the minibuffer:

  Rectangle to register:

This is all as it should be.

4. Now disable tooltip mode:
M-x tooltip-mode

5. Repeat #3.  The prompt is not shown.
Instead, the mouse keystrokes are echoed.
(Setting `echo-keystrokes' to nil does not help.)

Emacs should show the prompt.

I can see this in the MS-Windows build, but not in the MS-DOS build
(which runs with tooltip-mode disabled by default, and cannot turn it
on).  There's some Windows-specific code on the way of handling this
scenario, so the problem could be Windows-specific.  Could people
please try this on X and see if it happens there?  The toolkit used to
build Emacs could matter, so please report that as well.

Thanks.

I cannot reproduce it on my box (I see the prompt with and without
tooltip-mode enabled).

On further tests I've found a way to reproduce this problem on my
system: Just before step #5, give focus to another GNOME application,
and then select Emacs again,

Thanks.  So I guess this is not specific to MS-Windows.

I tried to reproduce it on MS-Windows but after the fix for Bug#3192, it
doesn't reproduce for me anymore.  The fix is in:

commit f22346fe5abdbdac2ba5f690c11fda4d4f5d22d6
Author: Mauro Aranda <maurooaranda <at> gmail.com>
Date:   Mon Sep 16 22:17:51 2019 +0200

    With tooltip-mode disabled, don't unconditionally clear the echo area

    * lisp/tooltip.el (tooltip-show-help-non-mode): Only clear the
    echo area when the current message displayed is a tooltip message
    (Bug#3192).


If I revert that change, then it's easily reproducible.

I cannot reproduce it on GNU/Linux neither (even following the
extra step given by Dani Moncayo)

Then I guess we can finally close this bug.

Great.  Closing.
