--text follows this line-- This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org. Please check that the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address. Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators for other languages. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe starting from `emacs -Q': Problem: First 4 to 6 lines of the buffer are not visible and cannot be reached when I either change the frame width in my init file, or when I set the default font option to a different value. Way to reproduce: Put this line in your init.el file: (global-linum-mode 1) (setq linum-format " %d ") (setq-default default-frame-alist '((width . 120) (height . 60)))) Or change the fonts sizes to, for example, Geneva 24 using the menu Options > Set Default Font I do not know if the linum-mode is causing the problem, but when I start emacs without the init file, and just set the font size, I do not see the problem. Only after i set the width in the default frame alist I get the first lines of the buffer to start disappearing. Detailed Explanation: When I set the width of the frame from my init file to a value like 120, using the default-frame-alist, the new emacs frame gets out of the screen, and the first 4 lines of the buffer are not visible. After playing with the dimensions, I was able to get the problem with the first lines to go away using a different set of dimensions than the ones I use for windows and linux. (defvar running-macos (eq system-type 'darwin)) (setq-default default-frame-alist (if running-macos '((cursor-color . "white") (mouse-color . "white") (foreground-color . "white") (background-color . "DodgerBlue4") (cursor-type . box) (tool-bar-lines . 0) (width . 60)) '((cursor-color . "white") (mouse-color . "white") (foreground-color . "white") (background-color . "DodgerBlue4") (cursor-type . box) (tool-bar-lines . 0) (width . 120) (height . 60)))) (if running-macos (modify-all-frames-parameters '((width . 50)))) A similar thing happens when changing the default fonts. The window (or frame) resize, the first 5 to 10 lines of the buffer become unreachable (not visible on the screen and cannot scroll up). The minibuffer height expands to 3 to 5 lines, and the left area of the frame where I have my line numbers widens to 5 to 10 characters instead of just 2 or 3. Sometimes, changing the size of the window with the mouse, brings it back to an usable state. Sometimes, when switching between different values of font sizes using the Optons > Set Default Font ... dialog makes the emacs window and frame to become unresponsive and I have to kill the process using the Mac OS process kill dialog.
