Otherwise `display-buffer' will leave the window configuration alone. Heights are evened only when `display-buffer' chooses a window that appears above or below the selected window. And the manual says something similar. But in fact the windows are evened only if the new window is shorter than the selected window. This has been the case since revno: 88578 committer: Martin Rudalics timestamp: Sat 2008-06-14 08:58:07 +0000 message: (window--even-window-heights): Even window heights only if the selected window is higher than WINDOW. which has no ChangeLog or further explanation. Martin, do you remember why you made this change?
