Re: Open dialog doesn't appear, but Aquamacs loses focus

[David Reitter]

John,
If you have anything to add (a way to reliably reproduce it would be helpful), please let us know.
You can use C-x C-f to open a file “the Emacs way”, which will avoid the dialog box. You can also drag&drop from the finder.

Best,
David

I'll definitely keep you updated. The Open Recent also works just fine.

Thanks!

This happens now within about five minutes of me starting Aquamacs — usually around the eighth or ninth buffer I try to open.

John,

OK, can you send a proper bug report with all information?

Could you please give us a list of step-by-step instructions, starting with "Start Aquamacs without customizations" from the "Help/Diagnose and Report Bug" menu.

Use the bug reporting function from within Aquamacs to compose your message.

Thanks
- David
