emacs-app: does not display frame dimensions when resizing

Description

emacs-app was recently upgraded to emacs-24.1 and a feature that used to be there does not seem to be there anymore.

In pre-24.1, if you resized the window, the titlebar would display the dimensions of the window/frame as you resized it.

In 24.1 this no longer occurs. I am not sure if it is a macports issue or an emacs issue in general. I figured I would start from where I got emacs. :)

I do not have screenshots, as I no longer have emacs-app version 23.x

If this turns out to be emacs specific rather then the way its built under MacPorts, I'll refile with upstream.

cheers,

mehul

I suppose you run emacs-app on Lion or Mountain Lion. The current emacs-app is built with a fullscreen patch by default, and the patch for Lion and above seems to disable to display the dimensions of the window when you resize it, unfortunately. If you build the port without the patch, you will find emacs-app works as you expect.

$ sudo port install emacs-app -patches

There are several fullscreen patches available for Lion and above. Although some of them won't break the functionality to display the dimensions of the window, they display extra blank areas on top and bottom in the fullscreen mode...

emacs-app was upgraded to 24.3 in r103994 and it uses built-in fullscreen functionality that does not prevent from displaying frame dimensions when resizing.
