bug#2549: 23.0.60; doc-view: scrolling other window wraps unexpectedly

[Markus Triska]

With p.ps from:

   http://www.logic.at/prolog/p.ps

when I do:

   $ emacs -Q p.ps

and press:

   C-c C-c C-x 2

and then press C-M-v repeatedly, the other window eventually wraps
around instead of stopping at the image border like C-v does.

bug#2549: Bug still present

As of GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1, this bug still persists (both in doc-view and
a third-party module pdf-tools, see https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools).

Would you like to propose a patch along the lines discussed in the
beginning of this bug analysis?

Thanks.

Just a small matter, but it might be helpful if you could give some
indication within the body of posts what the bugs referred to are about.
Even just giving the original titles would be most appreciated.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I can reproduce this in Emacs 28.1, but not in Emacs 29 --
scroll-other-window was recently changed to respect how scrolling
commands are defined in the "other window".

That's because `scroll-other-window' calls scroll-up/down in the other
window, but if the other window contains an doc-view buffer it should
ideally call image-scroll-up/down.

The only good solution I see is to define buffer local variables
`scroll-up-function' and `scroll-down-function' which are used by
`scroll-up' and `scroll-down' and then binding them appropriate in each
mode.

Anyway, that's not really related to doc-view.  All non-text modes are
pertained here.  Comments?

Indeed, something like a hook seems necessary.  I'd rather leave it as
is for Emacs-23.1, tho.  Makes me wonder: do we have a way to tag bugs
as "post-23.1"?

We could abuse the "Version:" pseudo-header for that or create a new tag
for that.  The latter seems more desirable, but I don't know how to
create a tag.  Maybe they're created automagically?  I'll try by sending

  tags 2549 + post-23.1

to the control server address...

Actually, I think there's a way to classify bugs w.r.t releases.
So probably not tagging this as "post-23.1" but rather tagging the
others as "needs to be fixed before we can release Emacs-23.1".
But I can't figure out how to do it.

Just a technical note: `scroll-other-window' calls window_scroll and not
scroll-up/down.
