Subject: Emacs 21.2: set-window-start doesn't work
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2003 10:23:38 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200301141523.KAA13720@alliance.research.att.com> (raw)


Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
  and
Emacs 21.2.93 (Windows)

The code below should make frame fr show "50 51 ..." to the left on
the window.  That's what you get on Emacs 20.  Instead the display 
starts at the beginning of the buffer.

(defun f () 
  (get-buffer-create "*test*")    
  (with-current-buffer "*test*"
    (let* ((fr (make-frame))
	   (wnd (frame-first-window fr))
	   (n 1))
      (setq truncate-lines t) 
      (while (< n 100) (incf n) (insert (format "%s " n)))
      (set-window-start wnd (search-backward "50")))))
