Subject: bug#41862: 27.0.91; Isearch menu added to menu-bar
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2020 15:05:23 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7f3588eb-339f-4947-88f0-7ad2fcb6801a@default> (raw)
Starting with Emacs 27, `isearch-mode-map'
includes`isearch-menu-bar-map', which adds menu `Isearch' to the
menu-bar.
This should at least be optional, via user option (not requiring a user
to fiddle with keymaps).
emacs -Q
1. Resize the frame with your mouse, to make it narrower - just wide
enough to show the existing menu-bar menu names.
2. `C-s'
This causes the frame to be redisplayed to add menu-bar menu `Isearch',
which, in effect, moves everything down a line visually, because it
causes the menu-bar to wrap (since the frame was only wide enough to
show the menu-bar without the added `Isearch'.
3. `C-g', or otherwise end Isearch.
This causes the frame to be redisplayed to remove menu-bar menu
`Isearch', with the inverse jarring redisplay.
This behavior is intolerable. At least let users disable it easily,
with an option. A better solution than that should be found, but until
then, please at least do that.
The added user option might be only binary: (dis)allow menu `Isearch'.
Or it might have a third value that lets menu `Isearch' be added only if
there's room for it without wrapping. In that case, the doc needs to be
very clear, so users don't wonder why `Isearch' may sometimes appear and
sometimes not.
If this jarring behavior is platform-dependent, the consider taking care
of it only for platforms where it manifests. It's a problem for MS
Windows, at least.
