(And 80 columns, screen-wide. A new frame would = be OK for testing.) Since I am also using the self-compiled Emacsen before they are released = I remember a period when window splitting was a bit unpredictable (there = were bugs in the code). Code from this period was never released. The = developers made the released code finally behave in GNU Emacs like = before. I've found the entry from lisp/ChangeLog.14: 2009-05-07 Martin Rudalics * window.el (split-window-sensibly): New function. (split-height-threshold, split-width-threshold): State in doc-string that these affect split-window-sensibly. Change customization subtype from number to integer. (window--splittable-p): Rename to window-splittable-p since it's referred to in doc-string of split-window-sensibly. Update = doc-string. (window--try-to-split-window): Unconditionally call split-window-preferred-function and move splitting functionality to split-window-sensibly (Bug#3142). (split-window-preferred-function): Rewrite doc-string. Don't allow nil as customization type. -- Greetings Pete Either this man is dead or my watch has stopped. - Groucho Marx
