Hi emacs-devel,
I'm getting weird GUI behavior when compiling the latest CVS code
(actually I use git to pull from git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git).
Attached is a screen shot of what it (started with emacs -Q) looks like.
As you can see, the left and right margins are unusually large, I can't
`split-window-horizontally' because "Window width 7 too small (after
splitting)", and the number returned by `window-width' is clearly wrong.
This behavior has been around for at least two months (it has been like
this ever since I started trying to compile emacs23). Any suggestions?
This is compiled on Ubuntu 8.04.

Can you post the commands you use to get to the state in the picture?

# emacs -Q
(emacs starts up with no errors, but margins are unusually big)
Ctrl-x 3
Then in *scratch*:
(window-width (selected-window)) Ctrl-J
Then click on mini-buffer to bring up *Messages*.
That's all.

There must be more to it, for example, why are your margins so big? Can you
check /etc/X11/app-defaults (or /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults) if there is any
Emacs or EMacs file in there? Also do
% xrdb -query |grep -i emacs
and see if you get any lines. Let us know what you find.

But then I did
$ xrdb -remove
and retried emacs, the problem still persists. I use Emacs 22 for my
daily tasks with no problems on the same system, btw.
Also I think that the big margin is just a symptom and not the cause. As
I mentioned in my previous mails, Emacs won't allow me to
'split-window-horizontally' because 'window-width' thinks my window is
only 11 columns wide, while in fact my window is much wider than 11. And
when I try to adjust the Emacs frame width using the mouse, I can only
do so in very big increments. It appears that the bigger-than-normal
margin's width is what Emacs thinks is the width of one "column".
Any suggestions on how I should proceed from here? Thanks.

Bo

Hmm, can you try to recompile your Emacs with just -g (i.e. no -O)?

Have you tried running with another font, like
% emacs -Q -fn fixed
The size of the fringes suggests tha Emacs miscalculates the font width, or
that the font itself is buggy.

Yes, that fixes the problem! Seems it's caused by using non fixed-width
font as "default font". I don't why emacs would choose a variable-width
font as default font when -fn is not explicitly specified though,
definitely not my "Monospace" font according to fc-match:
$ fc-match monospace
VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman"
Anyway, emacs23 is working for me now, thanks a lot for your help! :)

It could be a bad font, but it could also be corrupted cache files. Try
% rm -rf ~/.font-cache* ~/.fontconfig
% sudo fc-cache --force
This rebuilds the cache files, it may take some time.
