I had the following issue under GNU/Linux, but not macOS:
1. C-h i
2. M-x buffer-face-mode RET (to enable a variable-width font)
3. m Info RET
4. g Help-Inv RET
5. Scroll to the bottom of the buffer with the mouse-wheel, then up again.
In step 5, I could scroll all the way to the bottom of the buffer (as
far as scrolling with the mouse wheel brings you), but scrolling back
to the top of the buffer would get stuck in the middle somewhere.
Even pressing DEL would not work.
The issue seems to happen only on some nodes.

Not reproducible here. Could be a macOS thing? Or maybe it depends
on the font used as variable pitch (or its size)?

Initially, it happened on Ubuntu GNU/Linux from emacs -q, not macOS.
However, I've just managed to trigger it on macOS from emacs -q, by
customizing face `variable-pitch' as follows:
Variable Pitch face: [sample]
State : SET for current session only.
The basic variable-pitch face.
[X] Font Family: Sans Serif
[ ] Font Foundry: --
[ ] Width: --
[X] Height: Value Menu Scale: 1.5
(The font family was already Sans Serif, I just changed the height
scale from 1.0 to 1.5).

Does it happen with `emacs -Q` or only with your init file?

(I couldn't have known that, since your report lacked the details
collected by "M-x report-emacs-bug".)

Still not reproducible.
Does the same problem happen if you scroll with "M-1 M-v" instead of
the mouse wheel? And what about M-<, does it get you to the beginning
of the node?

No: it works fine in that case.

Yes.
I looked into the definition of mwheel-scroll, and a comment by Stefan
in it seems to anticipate the behavior I see:

That is, when attempting to scroll down (as in, moving towards
beginning of buffer) under some mysterious circumstances, the window
gets recentered around point instead of being scrolled. However, if
point is moved to the first line of the window, say, then the
scrolling does work as expected (as I've found out by experimenting
more with my initial recipe).

If this is only about scrolling with the mouse wheel, then perhaps the
factor which differs between our systems is the amount of scrolling
per wheel notch. How many lines does a single notch scroll in your
case? And does the problem happen if you turn the wheel slowly?

I have serious difficulties dealing with unexplained and undescribed
problems that happen "under mysterious circumstances".
If you build with --enable-checking='yes,glyphs', and then turn on
redisplay tracing with "M-x trace-redisplay" before scrolling with the
wheel, what do you see? And how does that trace differ from when you
scroll with "M-1 M-v"?
(I find it useful to disable blink-cursor-mode and global-eldoc-mode
before such experiments, because they tend to trigger extra redisplay
cycles that conceal the interesting parts.)

I don't have access to a GNU/Linux system at the moment, but if I
recall correctly, it would be 5 lines at a time, when scrolling
slowly.
The behavior is different depending on how fast the mouse wheel is
turned. If it is turned slowly several times in a row, it is possible
to make window-start reach as far as the second or third line of the
buffer. If you turn it once more, then window-start jerks down a few
lines instead of reaching the start of the buffer. This can be
repeated ad infinitum.
In contrast, when turning the mouse wheel quickly (a few notches in
one second), it is not possible to get window-start anywhere near the
start of the buffer, except by using non-mouse commands or by setting
point closer to the top of the window first (with the mouse).

Thanks, I will try that soon. In the meantime, I noticed that I could
also reproduce the bug in Emacs 25.2, but not in 25.1. I will try to
bisect between the releases.

Then I'd expect the same behavior to happen if you do "M-5 M-v"
instead of turning the wheel. Does it?
If M-v doesn't reproduce the problem, then what about removing the
tricky code, and leaving just
(funcall mwheel-scroll-down-function amt)
without all the rest? I cannot understand why we need the rest, maybe
I'm missing something. mwheel-scroll-down-function is by default
scroll-down, exactly the same function called by M-v, so the results
should be the same, assuming that 'amt' is 5 when turning the wheel.

Just to make sure we are not barking up the wrong tree: this is in
"emacs -Q" with no customizations of any scroll-related variables,
like scroll-margin, scroll-conservatively, etc., right?

Thanks again for this useful advice. What follows is the annotated
output, according to the following recipe:

The third scroll should have reached the start of the buffer, but
recenters instead of doing so.
Furthermore, I found that reverting the following commit fixes the
issue locally, in a build of emacs-25:

So it may be that the new choice of fonts exposes a bug in the
scrolling mechanism.
Finally, I tried to make some analysis (by setting a breakpoint on
function "redisplay_window" in GDB) of why the recentering happens
while scrolling. I then did the same analysis after having checked
out the commit prior to the problematic one, and compared the code
path. It may well be of no use, but I include it here in case:
When causing the problematic behavior, redisplay_window reaches
try_to_scroll via this if statement:
if (!cursor_row_fully_visible_p (w, false, false))
{
/* Point does appear, but on a line partly visible at end of window.
Move it back to a fully-visible line. */
new_vpos = window_box_height (w);
/* But if window_box_height suggests a Y coordinate that is
not less than we already have, that line will clearly not
be fully visible, so give up and scroll the display.
This can happen when the default face uses a font whose
dimensions are different from the frame's default
font. */
if (new_vpos >= w->cursor.y)
{
w->cursor.vpos = -1;
clear_glyph_matrix (w->desired_matrix);
goto try_to_scroll;
}
}
That is, (!cursor_row_fully_visible_p (w, false, false)) and
(new_vpos >= w->cursor.y) evaluate to true.
try_to_scroll looks like this:
try_to_scroll:
/* Redisplay the mode line. Select the buffer properly for that. */
if (!update_mode_line)
{
update_mode_line = true;
w->update_mode_line = true;
}
if ((scroll_conservatively
|| emacs_scroll_step
|| temp_scroll_step
|| NUMBERP (BVAR (current_buffer, scroll_up_aggressively))
|| NUMBERP (BVAR (current_buffer, scroll_down_aggressively)))
&& CHARPOS (startp) >= BEGV
&& CHARPOS (startp) <= ZV)
{
/* The function returns -1 if new fonts were loaded, 1 if
successful, 0 if not successful. */
int ss = try_scrolling (window, just_this_one_p,
scroll_conservatively,
emacs_scroll_step,
temp_scroll_step, last_line_misfit);
switch (ss)
{
case SCROLLING_SUCCESS:
goto done;
case SCROLLING_NEED_LARGER_MATRICES:
goto need_larger_matrices;
case SCROLLING_FAILED:
break;
default:
emacs_abort ();
}
}
/* Finally, just choose a place to start which positions point
according to user preferences. */
recenter:
#ifdef GLYPH_DEBUG
debug_method_add (w, "recenter");
#endif
...
However, these checks are all false during the scroll:
(scroll_conservatively
|| emacs_scroll_step
|| temp_scroll_step
|| NUMBERP (BVAR (current_buffer, scroll_up_aggressively))
|| NUMBERP (BVAR (current_buffer, scroll_down_aggressively)))
so control falls through to the "recenter" label.
When I execute the same scroll command (from the same point and window
scroll state) in the commit prior to the problematic one, then the if
expression,
if (!cursor_row_fully_visible_p (w, false, false))
evaluates to false instead, control flow leads elsewhere, and the bug
does not happen.

Then let's abandon the wheel, and continue only with "M-5 M-v" from
now on.

Were you typing "M-5 M-v" or were you turning the mouse wheel?

Yes, but that doesn't help, the problem is not with selecting a
different font.

And what are the values of new_vpos and w->cursor.y in this case? And
what is w->cursor.vpos?
> try_to_scroll looks like this:
I suspect we shouldn't go there in this case. The logic above fails
because it thinks we are at end of window, whereas we actually are at
or before the beginning of window.

Which means that commit is not the culprit, it just exposes some
subtle bug.
Thanks for digging into this.

No, the last sentence is incorrect. Nevertheless, something their
fails to work correctly because of how the various values involved
wind up, so I still want to see those values.

Actually, I think this code is not supposed to run in the case you
describe, i.e. when the user invokes a scrolling command. So I think
the root cause is elsewhere. Does the patch below fix the problem?

This was with the wheel. But the output when using "M-5 M-v" three
times in a row is equal, modulo some "redisplay_internal 0" lines.

we have,
(gdb) p new_vpos
$1 = 561
(gdb) p w->cursor.y
$2 = 557
(gdb) p w->cursor.vpos
$3 = 27

It certainly does on macOS, and I will test on GNU/Linux tomorrow.

I can confirm that it does fix the issue on GNU/Linux. Thanks again
