Hi All,
The first two screens of the Emacs tutorial (which can be accessed by
C-h t) explain how to move forward and backward by an entire screen
using C-v and M-v. The second screen says (at the top):
"Note that there is an overlap of two lines when you move from screen
to screen; this provides some continuity so you can continue reading
the text."
However, I get an overlap of three lines. I am using GNU Emacs
24.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) under X. Is this a
configuration option which differs with each new build? Or is this
part of the tutorial from the old days, when the overlap was actually
two lines?
Regards,
Valera

No, the default is still the same. However, depending on the font you
are using, it could be that the a partial or even a whole 3rd line
will show, because when variable-size fonts are involved, it is hard
to compute in advance how many pixels to move for N lines.
Try in "emacs -nw", and I think you will see 2-line overlap. If that
doesn't happen, either, perhaps there are local changes to your Emacs.

Yes, this works.
Thanks,
