Because the changelog entry looks like this: * comint.el (comint-mode): Locally set scroll-conservatively.

I could answer that more easily if you could tell me how you reached the conclusion that it _is_ needed. I find nothing in devel, bugs, or pretest-bug when searching for comint or scroll-conservatively in the relevant time. emacs22 -Q M-x shell M-: (setq comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input t) press return a lot to get shell buffer longer than window height scroll to top type "ls" -> window scrolls so that end of buffer is in the middle of the screen Repeat the above with scroll-conservatively set to 0. No change. You can leave it set at 10000 if you want. I don't know how to solve the current, well-defined problem. Perhaps someone else does, but nobody seems to be jumping in with suggestions.
