C-k (kill line) hangs or has few second delay

[Thomas F]

Has anyone experienced XEmacs either hanging (requiring it to be
killed) or a few second delay when using C-k (kill line) command?

I'm using 21.4 patch 22 on Solaris 10. I compiled it from source
myself. Could not find binary for Solaris 10.

This issue does not seem to be major mode dependent - it happens in
fundamental mode, Tcl mode, etc.

When this issue first started, it would hang and require a kill. It is
not hanging now, but each time I use C-k, it delays a few seconds
before deleting the line.

Thanks,
Thomas

This sort of problem is often due to interactions between XEmacs and
X.

Check the values of interprogram-cut-function and
interprogram-paste-function. If they are non-nil, try setting them to
nil.

Also, make sure you are up-to-date on your Solaris patches,
particularly anything related to X.

Mike,

Thanks for the help. If I set variable interprogram-cut-function, the
problem goes away, so I will check Solaris patches for X Windows
related to copy and paste.

Thanks,
Thomas
