Subject: Odd problem with window geometry
Date: Sun, 1 Dec 2024 20:56:01 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6daecdb7-9495-7467-6956-31131ec38482@slac.stanford.edu> (raw)
I have had a consistent problem in starting up emacs on a Rocky 9 Linux
platform. (I have no control over the machine, but it appears to be
using emacs-27.2.) If I specify window size (with either -g or --geometry)
on the command line, I first see a window of appropriate size (which
changes when I change the values), but then as initialization completes
it collapses to a window with only 3 or 4 lines; there is also a small
change in width. This happens whether or not I have a .emacs file. (I
have no other initializtion file.) I have longed used emacs on both
Redhat=6 Linix and Linux OS-7, with no such problem, but I think the
emacs version there was 25. In case it matters, I use XMing as my X
server, but that is unchanged from my usage on the other platforms.
Does this behavior ring a bell with anyone? I must be missing something.
Thanks.
