Scrolling up at the end of the buffer

Scrolling up at the end of the buffer

[Lennart Borgman]

Scrolling up at the end of a buffer moves the last line up from the 
bottom of the screen. It does not seem useful for me. Is this a bug? 
This happens if I use for example `scroll-up'.

I don't understand this. Just now I put the cursor on the last line in
a buffer and pressed C-v (scroll-up) and I only got the "End of
buffer" message.

Presumably the OP means that the last line is scrolled all the way to the
top of the screen, instead of staying at the bottom of the screen. It seems
that both behaviours are equally common in different editors. Personally I
prefer to have the last line stay at the bottom of the screen, but it is no
big deal.

OK, I think I see the problem. When I started using Emacs I though it
was a bit weird in some respects (for example, "jumping" many lines
when point reaches end of visible buffer), but I got used to it. Also,
recently I have started to user C-l (recenter) much and like it quite
much. I use it almost automatically and do not think of the "strange"
behaviours of Emacs because I get what I want in the center of the
screen.

You might like this: (setq-default indicate-empty-lines t)

It's the way Emacs works.  We like it.

Some other editors work differently.

Both behaviors have their pros and cons, but there's no particular
reason to change Emacs.
