Hi Chong,

I've reproduced this bug both in a terminar (starting emacs with -nw) and in
graphical mode. But thanks to your mail I've discovered the root of the
problem:

I've just noticed that the problem arises if (and only if) I start emacs
loading my .emacs file. So, i've been testing a bit and i've discovered that
the line that produces the problem is the one that sets the
next-screen-context-lines variable to 4.

So, now the question is: Is that behaviour correct?

I think it isn't, because i'm not scrolling into the widget-choose window.

I've attached the screenshot that you requested, and also my .emacs file.

Thank you. Dani.
