I do not know much about how emacs manages its windows. Yet I am a bit surprised that the above approach establishes a rather special treatment of *Completions* buffers. I'd say the problem is that *a* buffer with typically more than two or three lines gets automatically displayed in a window that is only three lines high. We have a particular example where this happens to the *Completions* buffer. But if this happened with any other buffer this would be equally annoying. So it seems to me that this should be solved in a more generic way. Am I missing something? Roland
