Well, one could just stop shrinking the window. To wit: in single-window frames, the contents get scrolled left/right as needed to have the cursor on-frame. In multiple-window frames, one could equally well scroll the whole window configuration. Sure, C-x o might cause window borders to jump around... It might at least keep windows accessible in a somewhat predictable/intuitive manner. -- David Kastrup
