Subject: bug#18197: 24.3.92; Get rid of ellipsis at beginning of window
Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2014 12:07:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wqanw8p5.fsf@geodiff-mac3.ulb.ac.be> (raw)
I'm not sure this is a bug, or simply a feature that annoys me. I'm
sorry if I picked the wrong mailing list.
When running the following
emacs -Q /tmp/foo.outline -f outline-mode -f end-of-buffer --eval '(forward-line -2)' -f hide-body
with /tmp/foo.outline containing:
,----
| * foo
| <a screenful of lines that do not start by a '*'>
| * bar
`----
My window then looks like:
,----
| ...
| * bar
`----
When I hit M-<, my window will look like:
,----
| * foo...
| * bar
`----
I would expect the screen to not go through the intermediate state with
an ellipsis at the beginning of the window.
If this is not a bug, what is a workaround ? The best I came up with is :
(let ((ws (window-start)))
(save-excursion
(goto-char ws)
(skip-chars-backward "^\n")
(while (and (not (bobp)) (invisible-p (1- (point))))
(goto-char (previous-char-property-change (point)))
(skip-chars-backward "^\n"))
(redisplay)))
(the code to skip invisible text comes from move-beginning-of-line).
Thanks,
