Subject: describe-{function,variable} shrinks frame (GTK+/KDE)
Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2007 00:21:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <876401dbee.fsf@escher.local.home> (raw)
With GNU Emacs 23.0.50.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0) of
2007-11-13 on escher under KDE using gtk-qt engine I observe the
followin (I have not been able to reproduce this with the same Emacs
build under GNOME or twm):
1. emacs -Q ; M-: (frame-height) => 40
2. C-h i
3. C-h f RET webjump RET ; M-: (frame-height) => 40
4. C-x 1
5. C-h v RET kannada-consonant RET ; M-: (frame-height) => 39
This recipe isn't completely reliable: what seems to be constant are the
prior invocation of Info and unsplitting the windows between the
describe-* calls; otherwise, sometimes the shrinkage happens after the
first call to describe-{function,variable}, sometimes it takes several
iterations of steps 2.-5. The function/variable names are examples,
probably any will do. Once the shrinkage begins, it progresses with
subsequent describe-* calls.
I only noticed this recently. My first suspicion was the changes to
help.el et al on 2007-11-06 (with-help-window etc.). But then I tried a
build from 2007-09-23 I had saved and reproduced it with that, to my
surprise (I don't know how I could have failed to notice this behavior
before). The latest build I still have prior to that is from
2007-08-24, just before the multi-tty merge: with this build I could not
induce the shrinkage.
