Of course, but that flag would not only have a local, but also a global value. Customize, for instance, will only set the global value. The choice for the local value would be t or nil (or maybe top, bottom or nil, as Robert suggested). I was talking about choices for the global value. I definitely believe that one of the global choices should mean that a window gets a horizontal scroll-bar if and only if truncation is in effect (and the window is not a minibuffer window). Maybe this could even be the default value. Sincerely, Luc.
