This chapter describes all already known conflicts with other packages and also the known (and currently unfixed) bugs of ECB. If possible then a practicable solution or workaround is described.

Here is a list of known conflicts of ECB with other packages and helpful solutions/hints/workarounds:
10.1.1 Package VC (Version Control) Conflicts with Version Control 10.1.2 Package follow-mouse.el Conflicts with follow-mouse.el 10.1.3 Package avoid.el Conflicts with avoid.el 10.1.4 Package calendar.el Conflicts with calendar.el 10.1.5 Package calculator.el Conflicts with calculator.el

The variable vc-delete-logbuf-window
must be set to nil during
active ECB. This can be done with the hooks mentioned in 9. Entry points for elisp programmers.

The following is only relevant for Emacs 20.X!
ECB works very well with follow-mouse if follow-mouse is turned on
BEFORE ECB is activated (e.g. within the
ecb-activate-hook
). But if you activate follow-mouse first
after ECB is already activated, then the follow-mouse stuff prevents
the complete node-name to be displayed in the echo-area if mouse moves
over it. Because ECB has a much more intelligent mouse tracking
mechanism than follow-mouse the follow-mouse stuff profit from ECB and
works even better and saver as without activated ECB!

With GNU Emacs 20.X ECB must deactivate mouse-avoidance-mode
if the
option ecb-show-node-info-in-minibuffer
activates for at least one
ECB tree-buffer 'if-too-long or 'always. This is done automatically
but only as long ECB is activated.

With activated ECB calendar
does not shrink itīs window to the small
size but splits the window equally. But if you add this to your
`.emacs' it works:
(add-hook 'initial-calendar-window-hook (function (lambda () (when (and ecb-minor-mode (ecb-point-in-edit-window)) ;; if no horizontal split then nothing ;; special to do (or (= (frame-width) (window-width)) (shrink-window (- (window-height) 9)))) ))) |

If the edit-window is already splitted then calling calculator
uses
the whole "other" edit-window for the calculator. With an unsplitted
edit-window the calculator window has itīs normal size of about 2
lines. Therefore itīs recommended to set calculator-electric-mode
during ECB activation to not nil so calculator uses always the
echo-area instead of creating a new small window!

This section describes all currently known bugs of ECB. The maintainers of ECB try to fix these bugs as soon as possible.
