I'm using the test version of Emacs so that I could use Emacs-w32 (Cygwin file and resource services with a W32 gui). I'm a heavy emacs user on my GNU/Linux boxes; Unfortunately, I'm relegated to Windows7 at work. The problem I'm having only impacts the test 24.2.90 environment, not the standard 24.2 version in Cygwin (where ther is no emacs-w32). The only problem I've encountered is that (previous-line) aka, up arrow or Control-P (<up>, C-p in emacs-speak) sometimes jumps up two lines rather than one. Luckily I'm a lousy typist and I keep an eye on the screen so I quickly compensate with a down arrow but it is slowly driving me nuts... The reason I know it's not the idiot on the push button side of the keyboard is that I have a customization that I've used for years that copies the remainder of the line above to the current line. It now mangles the current and previous lines under this version of Cygwin. I've had similar problems near the window boundaries due to scrolling during re-display interacting with cursor motion but in customization the behavior disappears because there is no intervening re-display. Also, I'm having the problem in emacs-w32, emacs-x11 and emacs-nox executables. I did not encounter this problem with any of the pretest versions of 24.3 (which is what 24.2.90 is) on GNU/Linux. And while I guess this is not a Cygwin core bug, I expect it might be a bug in packaging of the pretest. I know emacs-w32 is a new beast in the GNU Emacs universe so if the problem is really in the Emacs code base I'd like to see it acknowledged and fixed before it causes problems for emacs on other platforms. Attached in a mildly scrubbed cygcheck.
