I suppose you want to set `left-margin-width' and `right-margin-width' for that buffer instead. martin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

That is right, thanks. I was setting that one in expectation it will automatically resize margins. I see that I have to use both set-window-margins and then also those variables for it to persist. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
