If you make stuff invisible in such a way that the total amount of text (visible and invisible), between the position at the top of the screen and the one at the bottom of the screen, increases, the thumb size increases. If you are careful to only make stuff outside the screen invisible, nothing happens to the thumb. (Tested in Emacs 20.7, native scrollbars.) I am puzzled. Using 20.7, when I visit NEWS by typing `C-h n' (view-emacs-news) and then type `C-c C-t' (hide-body), the thumb grows bigger. When I then type `C-c C-a' (show-all), the thumb grows smaller. I interpret this to mean that the thumb shows the portion of visible text shown in the window to all the visible text in the buffer. In any event, I like this policy. If I remember rightly I configured 20.7 this way: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local (I built Emacs 20.7 a long time ago; perhaps I also added `--with-type1 --with-sound=yes' to the configuration.) -- Robert J.
