I profoundly dislike this option. In particular, I don't understand why a window should be resized only if it's adjacent to the selected one. Moreover, the adjacency test is inherently wrong for slightly more complex window layouts. And, if there are other windows in the same combination, some of these might shrink or grow instead of the selected one. > I think this should be like `resize-mini-windows': make a new value > `grow-only' (the default) which means the current behavior, and any > other non-nil value would be the behavior you originally implemented, > i.e. both growing and shrinking allowed. I'd rather make this variable obsolete instead. It's a relict from a time when a frame used to contain at most two windows ... martin
