bug#25474: 26.0.50; Buffer content invisible

[Ivor Durham]

--text follows this line--

 

After a fresh "git clone; autoconfig.sh; autoconfig.sh git; configure; make" sequence I have an Emacs that displays a menu bar and right-hand scroll bar but the actual buffer content is invisible. (See attached screenshot after opening my .bashrc file.) If I use the “-nw” option to avoid the window system, the buffer content is visible. I’m connecting to my Linux system via SecureCRT from my Windows 10 laptop which has VcXsrv running locally.

 

The officially installed Emacs 25.1.1 displays the buffer content correctly which this new 26.0.50 build does not with the same Windows client connection.

 

Where should I look for more information on this problem. Thanks in advance.
