Message-ID: <E1HY7ow-0002jO-Jl@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
This spurious recenter bug sounds serious. This report doesn't
exactly give clear instructions, so I asked Warren to try to send a
clearer one. But can anyone reproduce the problem from this report?

*****************************************************************************
I just got and built emacs-22.0.90 on linux and solaris 8 with success. Added
in the few .el files I use and everything is working pretty good.
The 22.0.50 problems, I had seen, seem to be fixed.
Can someone point me to the .el file repository. I can't seem to find the
latest versions of the ones I am using from about 8 years ago. I used to use
the LCD-datafiles but all that seems to be quite old.
*****************************************************************************
I have noticed one new behavior the is disturbing. If I search for something
then type C-a to goto the begining of the line it will center the point to
the middle of the screen. I tried to duplicate it and just searching and C-a
does not do it. If you kill a line of text and put it back, then search for
something that puts the point not in the middle of the screen but near the
bottom then doing c-a it will center the point.
I don't see anything in the NEWS about this behavior.
Below in the keystrokes the ones leading up to <escape> < C-k C-k
did not recenter the screen. The <escape> < C-k C-k and following keystrokes
did. The last search ended up just a couple lines from the bottom of the
window.
I have a full screen size window of 1280x1024 when doing this using dtwm. The
font allows 71 lines in the emacs buffer to be displayed.
