I just tried (setq split-height-threshold nil) ... and that seems to do the trick. (Misunderstanding what it meant, I had tried setting it to small values; I hadn't tried large values or nil.) I'll have to play with it some more to be sure, but I think I'm fixed.

Maybe this was just an aberration in the version I'm >using?) I don't remember. But I completely fail to understand that setting `split-height-threshold' and `split-width-threshold' to nil or very large values can allow `display-buffer' to split a window (unless there's only one window on the frame). Which values did you try? martin
