            Bug ID: 268386
           Summary: editor/emacs-devel: PGTK option with X server is
                    unsupported
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ykasap@gmail.com

editor/emacs-devel enables the "PGTK" option by default, but running the
package with the X server emits a warning window saying:

You are trying to run Emacs configured with the "pure-GTK" interface under =
the
X Window System.  That configuration is unsupported and will lead to sporad=
ic
crashes during transfer of large selection data.  It will also lead to vari=
ous
problems with keyboard input.

I believe most FreeBSD users still use X servers for their desktops, so cou=
ld
you please consider disabling the "PGTK" option by default? Or is this pack=
age
for more adventurous people running Wayland?
