Hi. I'm seeing the patches meant to address this bug break plain-text
scrolling. I'm reporting this new issue here, since it seems on-topic.
I'm running a close-to-HEAD emacs on a Debian box. The most recent
change to simple.el is this:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/lisp/simple.el?id=a7484019a30de380087389ccc8e5b0d0b8dae290
I'm observing that under some specific conditions (ones that my .emacs
just happens to hit) C-f can get stuck scrolling text instead of going
to the next line. To make the bug happen, I do this:
1. Load a text file. This is plain ASCII. No images or unicode or
anything interesting. A nice test case is the output of 'seq 1000'
2. Press C-f repeatedly until the point reaches the bottom of the
screen; this works fine
3. When at the bottom of the screen C-f scrolls the text one line up,
while keeping the point where it was in the buffer. Now the point
gets stuck, and subsequent C-f/C-b just scroll the screen; the point
is stuck.
The bug requires particular .emacs settings. I wittled it down to this:
(custom-set-variables
'(default-frame-alist
'((font . "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--14-100-100-100-m-90-iso8859-1")))
'(inhibit-startup-screen t))
(global-hl-line-mode)
The inhibit-startup-screen is there to be nicer; may not be required for
the bug. The (global-hl-line-mode) is significant. The bug doesn't
happen without it. That font is significant also. Other fonts seem to
work without the bug. I suspect the window sizes are significant as
well. I can see the bug if I launch 'emacs -geometry 30x30'. The
width/height of the emacs window as reported by xwininfo is then
308x455.
This is 100% reproducible for me. I suspect it may not be so for others.
Let me know if I should run any specific tests to get to the bottom of
this.
Thanks
