There's no reason not to preserve the margin (other than the fact it's not implemented). There are questions about *how* to do it, tho. Mostly, should the margin set by the user be considered as a property of the buffer (applied wherever the buffer gets displayed), or is it a property that applies to this buffer but only in this particular window? E.g. if I have the buffer in window 1 and then display it in window 2, should window 2 get the same margins as well? What if window 2 has a completely different width than window 1? > My suggested alternative if one needs to jump around buffers while > keeping margins enabled in a certain buffer: I noticed that the "window > configuration registers" preserve margins properly: > - (... set margins with S-mouse-1 and S-mouse-3 ...) > - C-x r w a > - M-x next-buffer RET > - C-x r j a Right, that can be a good workaround until ruler-mode does that for you, Stefan
