In q0.15 and q0.16, I am irregularly encountering the bizarre effect that, upon exit from Gnus, my modeline looks like this: --** [gnus glyph] *scratch* [0] {1 more} (Lisp Interaction)-----L1--All--- Note the *Summary*-style bits that remain in a *scratch* buffer. Note also that the buffer claims to be modified, though attempting to execute `undo' fails, with a complaint that no more undo info is available. If I start killing buffers with `C-x C-k', eventually *scratch* is reconstituted and has a normal modeline, lacking the gnus glyph and summary counters. As for the circumstance which leads to this error, I am not sure precisely what it is that does this. I have tried: 1. Both M-x gnus and M-x gnus-no-server. 2. Exiting immediately after start. 3. Reading entirely through a couple groups until they show no unread articles. 4. Reading partially through a group so that some unread articles remain. 5. Sending (and not sending) replies to articles being seen. So far, I have no reliably reproducible circumstance. It seems to happen (guestimating) about 1-in-5 exits from Gnus. Is anyone else seeing this in the most recent release or two? My configuration: XEmacs 19.16 under Linux (recent RH). I change gnus-{group,summary,tree}-line-format, but have no customizations regarding modelines. All my customization is in .emacs; I don't use .gnus at all. Clues, or at least corroborating failures, would be most welcome. --karl
