Hi all, I have this function (the part at issue here should be the first line): (defun my-recenter-after-jump (window _window-start-after) "Recenter the point after a non-scroll command brings it out of view. This function is meant to be called from the hook ‘window-scroll-functions’." (with-selected-window window (unless (or (> 0.001 (float-time (time-subtract (current-time) buffer-display-time))) ; Don’t run this function after a change of buffer. Non-nil here means the selected window displayed the current buffer less than a thousandth of a second ago, so it was most likely a change of buffer that triggered ‘window-scroll-functions’, not a scroll.
