My understanding from > the GNU mailing list (see > http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2005-11/msg00630.html) > is that this behavior is hardwired into the function pop-to-buffer and > cannot be easily changed. Would be great to have an option to > customize this behavior. I have a patch that implements such an option, and I have been using it without problems for more than one year. I refrained from submitting it for adding to Emacs CVS due to the feature freeze. During this time users contacted me privately asking me to send them my patch. So now I see that not including it to the next release would be a big mistake. More and more people have wide-screen monitors, and hardwiring the current default is very annoying for them. I could submit my patch to emacs-devel for review. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
