C-h i 3. C-h f RET webjump RET ; M-: (frame-height) => 40 4. C-x 1 5. C-h v RET kannada-consonant RET ; M-: (frame-height) => 39 This recipe isn't completely reliable: what seems to be constant are the prior invocation of Info and unsplitting the windows between the describe-* calls; otherwise, sometimes the shrinkage happens after the first call to describe-{function,variable}, sometimes it takes several iterations of steps 2.-5. The function/variable names are examples, probably any will do. Once the shrinkage begins, it progresses with subsequent describe-* calls. I only noticed this recently. My first suspicion was the changes to help.el et al on 2007-11-06 (with-help-window etc.). But then I tried a build from 2007-09-23 I had saved and reproduced it with that, to my surprise (I don't know how I could have failed to notice this behavior before). The latest build I still have prior to that is from 2007-08-24, just before the multi-tty merge: with this build I could not induce the shrinkage. Steve Berman
