Tags: patch A minor bug fix involving the `scrolltobottom' module (and originally lumped in with the mostly unrelated bug#63595) eventually materialized on HEAD as [1]. While it did fix the bug, it didn't really address any of the related foundational issues that have haunted `scrolltobottom' since the beginning. The attached patch is meant to make the module more predictable and consistent overall, while specifically addressing - the effect only being applied in the selected window - the effect not responding to changes in window size - the gradual scrolling of point toward the centermost line when away from the prompt (on graphical displays) People miffed by this module's rough edges are encouraged to try these changes and give feedback. Thanks. [1] commit e51e43b7046b56c58310854182a1d589ee4c770c Author: F. Jason Park Date: Wed May 17 19:48:02 2023 -0700 Fix buffer-mismatch bug in erc-scroll-to-bottom * lisp/erc/erc-goodies.el (erc-scroll-to-bottom): Only `recenter' when the selected window's buffer is current. Previously, the module `scrolltobottom' signaled an "Error in `post-command-hook'" when a user clicked a channel indicator in the mode line from a window showing another ERC buffer.
