25.1.50; I can't change the scroll-lock setting when Emacs has the focus |
Date: |
Thu, 15 Dec 2016 16:17:47 +0100 |
When Emacs has the focus, pressing the <scroll> key (usually labelled
"scroll lock") has no effect, i.e., if scroll-lock was enabled at that
moment, it remains enabled (and vice-versa).
If I select another application, then the above problem disappears,
i.e., I can't switch on/off the scroll-lock setting.
Tested with "emacs -Q".
In GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)

OK, I documented how to get the behavior you wanted, and I'm marking
this bug done.

Well, as I said, this was changed from t to nil 7 years ago, see
bug#2827. The reason that was done seems no longer be pertinent, but
still, we had this default since then, so I don't think we should
change it.
Thanks.
