Subject: bug#21969: VC opens new window to display minimal messages
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 08:55:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <906518FC-CA8A-408D-88CC-A44553EB66C6@gmail.com> (raw)
At some point on the way to Emacs 25, VC has begun creating new windows to display messages that would more appropriately fit into the echo area.
For example, you do C-x =, it’ll display a “no revisions between working revision and work file” message. But that is shown in the echo area AND a newly created window.
The consequence is that the user has to get rid of the superfluous mini window. Also, mistakes happen - i.e., opening a new file, the new buffer will display in a window that is only one line high, so one’s got to deal with that.
Bottomline, this shouldn’t happen. Use the echo area appropriately unless there’s really something to display.
