After upgrading to 11.4, i experienced a few issues with emacs:
When using compositing in KDE4, the emacs window seems to not be redrawn properly resulting in corrupted graphics (have not seen this in another application yet).
The delete-selection-mode is gone. Afaik it has been a standard component of emacs for ages and i could not find anything about it being removed.
This might simply be a change in orgmode, but i’m still wondering (and can’t find anything on the official page): suddenly clocking times doesn’t use a drawer, but a :LOGBOOK: drawer and that only if you set org-log-into-drawer to t. This breaks a lot in existing files…
I removed /usr/share/emacs, /usr/share/local/emacs, ~/.emacs.d and .emacs to make sure there is no conflict with some older configuration…
…anyway, i did some further investigations:
I built the latest Emacs myself and delete-selection was back, so this seems to be some issue with the openSuse version. Or both of them, as i also tried the version from the editors-repository.
The graphical glitches remained. But only on my notebook using an X3100 intel chip, not on my desktop using an nvidia card with the proprietary driver.
