Re: X11 freezing while scrolling

My #1 bug that I really wish they would fix is the "freeze when scrolling" problem. I have only seen this on intel-based Macs (and I believe it has been covered on this list before).

Until yesterday, I hadn't seen a decent workaround to unfreeze X11 short of killing X11 and restarting it (which is not a reasonable solution).

For those who haven't seen the solution and have this problem, you can sample the X11 process in Activity Monitor and X11 will unfreeze.

This is another example of a bug about which we have received countless reports; Most often, the hang happens while scrolling with the mouse wheel in XEmacs. Unfortunately, I've spent about an hour trying to reproduce it, and I can't make it happen. So, yes, I believe you (and everyone else) when you say it's happened, but without being able to see it first-hand, I can't fix it. :(
