bug#70038: 29.3.50; Shift up/down in buffer with images on M-x other-window with some fonts

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte <rdiaz02@gmail.com>]

Actually, maybe I can claim those bonus points: this does not depend on fonts, though I am triggering it using the package vertico (so maybe this example is vertico's fault):


Steps:

1. emacs -Q
2. eval this code

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
(package-initialize)
(vertico-mode 1)

(progn
  (defun pin-vscroll-down (win)
    (set-window-vscroll win 200 t))
   (let* ((height (/ (* 2 (frame-pixel-height)) 15))
         (image1 (create-image "/tmp/image1.png" nil nil :height height))
         (image2 (create-image "/tmp/image2.png" nil nil :height height))
         (image3 (create-image "/tmp/image3.png" nil nil :height height)))
    (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*image-scroll-test*")
      (insert " \n \n \n \n \n \n")
      (put-image image1 1)
      (put-image image2 5)
      (put-image image3 9)
      ;; With larger image sizes (goto-char 3)
      ;; also consistently triggers the problem.
      (goto-char 11)
      (add-hook 'pre-redisplay-functions #'pin-vscroll-down nil t))
    (split-window-right)
    (other-window 1)
    (switch-to-buffer "*image-scroll-test*")))
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

3. Do `M-x` (or C-x b). No need to execute anything or switch buffers, just have the minibuffer show options.

4. `C-x o`  a few times. You'll see the images move up and down.

I am seeing this in Lucid and GTK builds.

Best,

R.
