Since baud-rate is less than search-slow-speed, Emacs has no other choice -- it doesn't know that you're only pretending that your terminal is slow: ,----[ C-h v window-size-fixed RET ] | window-size-fixed's value is nil | | Documentation: | Non-nil in a buffer means windows displaying the buffer are fixed-size. | Emacs won't change the size of any window displaying that buffer, | unless you explicitly change the size, or Emacs has no other choice. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | This variable automatically becomes buffer-local when set. `---- -- Kevin Rodgers
