Note that if you have Alt keys but no Meta keys, Emacs translates Alt
into Meta. This is because of the great importance of Meta in Emacs.
*** Emacs hangs or crashes when a large portion of text is selected or killed.
This is caused by a bug in the clipboard management applets (it has
been observed in 'klipper' and 'clipit'), which periodically request
the X clipboard contents from applications. After a while, Emacs may
print a message:
Timed out waiting for property-notify event
A workaround is to not use 'klipper'/'clipit'. Upgrading 'klipper' to
the one coming with KDE 3.3 or later might solve the problem; if it
doesn't, set 'select-active-regions' to 'only' or nil.
** Window-manager and toolkit-related problems
*** Emacs built with GTK+ toolkit produces corrupted display on HiDPI screen
@ -1153,19 +1166,6 @@ It is also reported that a bug in the gtk-engines-qt engine can cause this if
Emacs is compiled with Gtk+.
The bug is fixed in version 0.7 or newer of gtk-engines-qt.
*** KDE: Emacs hangs on KDE when a large portion of text is killed.
This is caused by a bug in the KDE applet 'klipper' which periodically
requests the X clipboard contents from applications. Early versions
of klipper don't implement the ICCCM protocol for large selections,
which leads to Emacs being flooded with selection requests. After a
while, Emacs may print a message:
Timed out waiting for property-notify event
A workaround is to not use 'klipper'. Upgrading 'klipper' to the one
coming with KDE 3.3 or later also solves the problem.
*** KDE / Plasma 5: Emacs exhausts memory and needs to be killed
This problem occurs when large selections contain mixed line endings
