But the only thing I tell emacs with regard to its frame size is a size in columns/characters, i.e.: integral values. So when emacs decides to give me a half-line, this is a deviation from my request, and I would consider that a bug. > You may try playing with font and frame sizes, to get this effect to a > minimum, or even eliminate it entirely. I'm happy with 6x10, and as far as frame-size goes, what else can I do than give it another (integral!) columns/rows param? If you mean I have to trial-and-error through frame pixels sizes (is this possible -- I'll have a look?), I find that a regression. I'm sure I must be wrong on both the bug and the regression. Thanks for your comment, Eli. bauke jan
