In Emacs 23, the window is split vertically instead of horizontally and compilation-window-height doesn't seem to have any effect anymore. I like the change that the window is split vertically instead of horizontally, however I see some issues: - compilation-window-height looses its meaning (the variable is not mentioned in info but shows up in M-x customize-group compilation) - the change doesn't seem to be mentioned in NEWS (at least I couldn't find it) - there doesn't seem to exist a possibility to influence the width of the new window Frank -- Have you ever considered how much text can fit in eighty columns? Given that a signature typically contains up to four lines of text, this space allows you to attach a tremendous amount of valuable information to your messages.
