With latest CVS head (under X): I just tried to create 6 windows on a frame (50x132) with the sequence: C-x 2 C-x 2 C-x 2 (click mouse in bottom window) C-x 2 (make second window from the top larger by dragging its mode-line downwards) C-x 2 I then grabbed the mode-line of the topmost window with the mouse and dragged downwards. This makes all the windows smaller - until a certain point where suddenly all windows are evenly sized over the entire frame. Very surprising (as I recall it, windows used to disappear when they got too small, but I may be mistaken). Depending on the sequence in which the windows are split, the "magic" resizing of the windows seem to affect all or only some of the windows. So it is might be related to "parent/child" window relationships? -- Kim F.
