But C-h v is unable to reference this variable to provide its description. Instead, in the Eldoc customization group, there is the variable named `eldoc-echo-area-display-truncation-message', whose description appears to match the description at the (emacs) Lisp Doc node of the Emacs info manual. If this is the intended variable name, then the Emacs info manual needs to be changed to use it. (End of report.) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Thanks for the bug report. The variable was renamed in commit 77c3928425, but the manual was unfortunately never updated. I've now fixed this on the emacs-28 branch, so I'm closing this bug report. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
