If you read the documentation for truncate-lines, you will find the following paragraph: Note that this is overridden by the variable `truncate-partial-width-windows' if that variable is non-nil and this buffer is not full-frame width. If that is not good enough -- perhaps you did not realize that splitting with C-x 3 results in "buffers not full-frame width" -- then I hope you will file a bug report. Just use M-x report-emacs-bug and explain the problem. Bugs in the documentation are just that: Bugs. And we need people to spot these, too. :) Alex.
