The case that the OP mentioned seemed like a case where both the old and the new behaviors are acceptable, with no clear favorite. So I think we may as well leave the code alone. Unless I misunderstood or overlooked a detail, of course. > If we don't, could someone please tell the OP that we are not going to > change this. I'm experimenting with a feature that marks some frames as "balanced" such that any window-creation/deletion or frame resizing causes the windows to be rebalanced with balance-windows or balance-windows-area. In such a situation, whether "| a | b |" is split as "|a|c| b |" or as "| a |c|b|" doesn't matter that much, since that'll be rebalanced to something visually identical anyway. Stefan
