C-tab buffer switching does not work

Oh, the discussions did not follow us here, but at least you seem to have been added as a subscriber to this bug report, Stewart.

I can't see any link to the discussion either so I am adding one here:

Let us continue the discussion here.

Ah, that link was unnecessary, there is a link under "Related questions" to the right.

The latest download fixed the problem for me in Aquamacs 1.7 based on Gnu Emacs 22.3.1. I will update with my findings after I have tested the other versions/distros.

Thanks.

Lennart:

When running Aquamacs 2.0 Beta (which is built on Gnu Emacs 23), I get the following error while loading nxhtml:

"error: Wrong nxml-mode=/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/edit-modes/nxml/nxml-mode.elc used, please use the one that comes with Emacs"

Remember... Aquamacs is the step-child of Gnu Emacs... but this seems like a Gnu-generated error. I didn't know if you had seen that before.

I'm in good shape on the older Aquamacs... and that works for now.

Thanks.

Hi Stewart

That error is intentional. It is not a bug. It is from a check I have added to nXhtml.

It checks if the nxml-mode that comes with Emacs 23 (not yet released) is used or the older standalone nxml-mode. The standalone version only works for Emacs 22 or older.

I have added that test because a lot of people had problem because they used the old nxml-mode with CVS Emacs 23 without beeing aware of it. See for example the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nxhtml/+bug/354363

So please just remove the old nxml-mode from Emacs 23 (but use it for Emacs 22).

Then I believe that your problem is solved in the 1.78 release of nXhtml.

Lennart:

Everything seems to be working now in Aquamacs 1.8, which is based on Gnu Emacs 23.1.50.1, except one thing. Perhaps you can make sense of it... it also occurs in the regular build of Gnu Emacs as well.

Every time I press C-Tab, the emphasis does not skip to the next buffer in the list, but instead, jumps two spots. It happens the first time I press C-Tab, which populates the Mini-Buffer with the list of open buffers, and also it skips two each additional time I press it.

Any ideas?

No idea at the moment. Are you using the latest version of nXhtml?

Stewart, if you use the left/right arrow keys instead of C-Tab (after the first C-Tab) does the same thing happen?

No... the arrow keys move across the mini-buffer one item at a time.

Hi Stewart, I have not been able to understand this. Or I have forgotten. It has something to do with advice, but I thought that I had fixed this.

I can't do more at the moment, but please try the latest beta and see if the bug is still there. (This beta might break some things, but I am trying to fix those things and release a new version - with some bugs, like this, that I do not have time to fix now.)

Hi again Stewart,

I just saw a bug report for Emacs that could have something to do with this:

    http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=2402

Could you please look at that and see if it helps?

This looks very, very promising. I'll have a look probably next week and see
how it goes.
Thanks very much Lennart.

Stewart

The most recent release of Aquamacs has this fix in it. Thanks much for your
help.

Thanks Stewart for telling us where the problem was.
