bug#873: Annoying recentering when scrolling down

[Juanma Barranquero]

Package: emacs
Version: 23.0.60
Severity: normal

After setting this in .emacs:

(setq scroll-preserve-screen-position 'always
      scroll-conservatively           most-positive-fixnum ;; any large number
      scroll-step                     0)

scroll-down causes recentering. This is a regression.

The bug was apparently introduced by the following change:

2008-08-06  Chong Yidong  <address@hidden>

        * xdisp.c (try_scrolling): Use iterator to find the scroll margin,
        instead of window-end which does the wrong thing at eob.
        (try_cursor_movement): Minor optimization.
        (redisplay_window): If scroll margin is defined, don't assume
        window doesn't need scrolling.

I can still reproduce it on Windows, though the effect's frequency
varies with frame size and font (it seems to happen more often with
DejaVu Sans Mono than Courier New, for example).

I managed to reproduce it, and found the bug that (I think) was causing
this problem.  I've checked in a fix.

With your most recent patch the unwanted recentering does not happen. Thanks.

Line-by-line scroll is quite jumpy, though, as compared to next-line
in Emacs 22.X, or even to previous-line in the current trunk.

        * xdisp.c (try_scrolling): When computing the distance from the
        scroll margin to PT, try moving some distance past the window
        bottom before giving up.
