bug#5514: 23.1; problem when moving mouse


From: Lab Computer
Subject: bug#5514: 23.1; problem when moving mouse
Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2010 17:03:25 -0800

======start of message========
we are using emacs to connect to a usb-too-serial port and communicate with
an arm micro-processor and send it certain commands.
we have a scripter that will load a txt file and process it line by line,
sending out the commands inside it to the micro-processor.
the scripter has a main while loop in which there is a 0.3 second delay using "(sit-for)" between each time a command is sent out to the microprocessor.

each time through the loop, the index of the loop is printed to a log buffer
for debugging purposes.
as the script is running, every .3 seconds the index is printed to the log
buffer and we know its working properly.

HOWEVER, if the mouse is moved while the scripter is running, it seems that the "sit-fors" are inefective and the scripter runs through the while loop almost instantly. looking at the log buffer one can see that all the indexes
were printed, which is how I know that the while loop is still getting
executed but it is the sit-fors that are getting comprimised.

here is our while loop:

    (while (< idx (length *command_list*))

      ;; if a sexp, then evaluate
      (if  (not (stringp (nth idx *command_list*)))
          (eval (nth idx *command_list*))
                    )
      ;; if it looks like a duck.....
      (when  (and (stringp (nth idx *command_list*))
                  (string-match "<.*>+?" (nth idx *command_list*)))
         (print idx 'print-log)
         (process-IT-command device (nth idx *command_list*))
        ;; (send-command (nth idx *command_list*) device)
        )
      (sit-for delay)
        (setq idx (1+ idx))
        (redisplay t)
        )

I tried using a the version of emacs that runs on x11 (rather than the carbon
version) , and this time the same problem occurs if the mouse button is
clicked, but not when it moves.

please email me at sbonakdar@tandemdiabetes.com with any possible solutions.
