In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.21 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
 of 2008-12-03 on escher

1. emacs -Q

2. Eval this:
   (define-minor-mode my-mm ()
     "My minor mode."
     :global t
     (if my-mm
         (setq default-header-line-format
   	       '(:eval (propertize "test" 'face '(:overline t))))
       (setq default-header-line-format nil)))

3. Enable my-mm.

4. C-x d foo (where `foo' is some directory with at least three files,
   e.g. emacs/lisp).

5. Mark three files in foo.

6. Type `C'
   ==> The popped up buffer *Marked Files* shows only two of the three
   marked files.

Likewise if the value of the 'face property in my-mm has a non-nil :box
attribute.  In contrast, if the value of the 'face property is
'(:underline t) (but not '(:underline t :overline t)), then in step 6
all three marked files are shown, though with no room to spare.

I guess the basic problem here is that Emacs calculates window-height in
integral equally sized line numbers.  But less fundamentally and more
directly, this problem arises, AFAICT, because dired-pop-to-buffer's
shrink-to-fit code fails to account for header lines.  To fix this it
would suffice to add this sexp above the last sexp in
dired-pop-to-buffer: 
    (with-current-buffer buf 
      (and header-line-format
           (progn (select-window w2) (enlarge-window 1))))

However, unless I'm missing something, fit-window-to-buffer does what
dired-pop-to-buffer's shrink-to-fit code does, and moreover also handles
header lines.  From perusing the change logs, I found several instances
where fit-window-to-buffer replaces library-specific code, and this
appears to be another candidate (dired-pop-to-buffer was introduced many
years before fit-window-to-buffer), in addition to fixing the above bug.
I'm not able to fix the display code to let window-height return
fractional line numbers, so I propose the following patch:

(Note that if the frame is shrunk so that not all marked file names fit
in the *Marked Files* window, then without an oversized header line as
is my-mm, dired-pop-to-buffer fails with the error "Attempt to delete
minibuffer or sole ordinary window"; whereas with an oversized header
line, this error is raised only if not even one file name can be shown.
But I see this difference in behavior whether or not the above patch is
applied.)

I think so; yes.

This seems related to this bug:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-03/msg00765.html.

A face that uses :box, :overline, etc. is a pixel or two taller. And that can
cause code that deals with window size to increase by another line.

In addition we have the problem that `split-height-threshold' can be now
nil in

             ((and (> (window-height (setq w2 (get-largest-window)))
		     split-height-threshold)

I cannot reproduce that here.  That is, marking in a dired buffer more
files than there fit on the frame and typing C gives me a single-window
frame here with some files not shown - no error.

Ah, I can reproduce that now - but not reliably.

I have to debug this - I even managed to get a frame with no modeline
either :-(

Stephen,

`fit-window-to-buffer' seems broken in a number of regards.  I'll
eventually put condition-cases around the `enlarge-window' calls.
Could you, so far, try whether the attached patch improves things.

Thanks, martin.

You're referring to the parenthetical note below my patch, right?  So I
tested my patched version of dired-pop-to-buffer after applying your
patch.  The result is that dired-pop-to-buffer does not raise an error
if I shrink the frame to a size too small to show all marked files,
irrespective of the presence or absence of a header line; in both cases
I can shrink the frame until only one file can be shown.  That is, your
patch makes the behavior of dired-pop-to-buffer (with my patch)
uniformly like the behavior with a header line without your patch.  Is
that what you intend?

Isn't that what you wanted?

I don't understand what you mean here.  What I wanted to resolve in the
first place was to make `fit-window-to-buffer' not issue an error when
the frame is to small.  Is there anything else that doesn't work?

I didn't mean to suggest either behavior was better or worse, I just
wanted to report the observation.  But I agree it certainly is better to
have uniform behavior, and no error is fine with me (at least, the
particular error message currently used in the no-header-line case seems
inappropriate).

That's exactly what I meant, and my question was just to be sure this
was what you wanted to achieve.

Not with fit-window-to-buffer, AFAICT.

Stephen,

`fit-window-to-buffer' had more bugs than I thought.  I rewrote it
completely but you would have to use it for a couple of days to know
whether it DTRT.  Patch attached.

I finally had time to apply your patch and give it a whirl.  Initial
tests together with my patched dired-pop-to-buffer indicate it DTRT,
i.e., both with and without a header line I can shrink the frame and
invoke dired-pop-to-buffer without signalling an error until only one
dired line is displayable: then shrinking is no longer possible and
dired-pop-to-buffer shows one file (also with signalling an error).
I'll keep using it, maybe I'll hit a corner case, but it seems ok.

[-- Attachment #2: Type: message/rfc822, Size: 6922 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #2.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1896 bytes --]

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.21 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
 of 2008-12-03 on escher

1. emacs -Q

2. Eval this:
   (define-minor-mode my-mm ()
     "My minor mode."
     :global t
     (if my-mm
         (setq default-header-line-format
   	       '(:eval (propertize "test" 'face '(:overline t))))
       (setq default-header-line-format nil)))

3. Enable my-mm.

4. C-x d foo (where `foo' is some directory with at least three files,
   e.g. emacs/lisp).

5. Mark three files in foo.

6. Type `C'
   ==> The popped up buffer *Marked Files* shows only two of the three
   marked files.

Likewise if the value of the 'face property in my-mm has a non-nil :box
attribute.  In contrast, if the value of the 'face property is
'(:underline t) (but not '(:underline t :overline t)), then in step 6
all three marked files are shown, though with no room to spare.

I guess the basic problem here is that Emacs calculates window-height in
integral equally sized line numbers.  But less fundamentally and more
directly, this problem arises, AFAICT, because dired-pop-to-buffer's
shrink-to-fit code fails to account for header lines.  To fix this it
would suffice to add this sexp above the last sexp in
dired-pop-to-buffer: 
    (with-current-buffer buf 
      (and header-line-format
           (progn (select-window w2) (enlarge-window 1))))

However, unless I'm missing something, fit-window-to-buffer does what
dired-pop-to-buffer's shrink-to-fit code does, and moreover also handles
header lines.  From perusing the change logs, I found several instances
where fit-window-to-buffer replaces library-specific code, and this
appears to be another candidate (dired-pop-to-buffer was introduced many
years before fit-window-to-buffer), in addition to fixing the above bug.
I'm not able to fix the display code to let window-height return
fractional line numbers, so I propose the following patch:

(Note that if the frame is shrunk so that not all marked file names fit
in the *Marked Files* window, then without an oversized header line as
is my-mm, dired-pop-to-buffer fails with the error "Attempt to delete
minibuffer or sole ordinary window"; whereas with an oversized header
line, this error is raised only if not even one file name can be shown.
But I see this difference in behavior whether or not the above patch is
applied.)

I checked in a revised version of this.  It's pretty hard to get right,
especially when shrinking non-full-width-windows.  There's still a
corner case I cannot handle.  Anyway, please report immediately when
something appears wrong.

Thanks, martin.
