Message-ID: <37D24D4FFB26F74D8F4C82CF039354F1013883C0@xch-stl-08.mw.nos.boeing.com> (raw)
Hi again!
OK, I just now saw what I assume is the "magic resize" you
mentioned. VERY disconcerting.
I had 6 windows in one frame, and was able to shrink the
bottom 4 of them down to their minimum size normally.
(NOTE: that minimum size seems to SOMETIMES be "1",
SOMETIMES "2", and SOMETIMES "3". VERY weird.)
When I tried to expand the very top window such that all
the others would be minimum size at the bottom, it stopped
when it reached that "all minimum" state. But my mouse hand
continued to move downward and suddenly all the lower
windows "magically resized" to 5 or 6 lines tall. This is
unpleasant, to say the least.
I was able to, carefully, shrink each one back to minimum
again. And I was able to reproduce that magic resizing
several times in a row.
Stats:
GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-nt4.0.1381) of 2001-10-22 on buffy
WinNT 4.0 with SP6 (I'm pretty sure about the SP#).
All buffers had either .cpp or .h files in them, thus were in
"C Abbrev" or "C++ Abbrev" mode.
Holler if you would like my .emacs and site-start.el files.
I do just about zero fancy stuff in those files or in
my use of Emacs.
NOTE: I still often get that condition where dragging the modebars
down SOMETIMES allow and SOMETIMES disallows the compression
of multiple windows below that modebar. Perhaps it is related
in some way. Holler for details.
Mike
