In GNU Emacs 19.27.6 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux9shr, X toolkit) of Wed Sep 21 1994 on snarfblatt Start emacs on an X window and move the window to the upper left corner of the screen. Create a second frame: C-x 5 2 Now, edit a file with a very long file name: C-x C-f C-u 2 0 0 x RET Now, move the mouse to the menu bar and pull down the buffers menu, and select the buffers sub-menu Note that the sub-menu appears to the left of the pulldown menu instead of to the right. It looks like the algorithm is: if it won't fit on the right put it on the left (regardless of how much space there is on the left). It should probably be: if it won't fit on the right put it on the side with the most space. Maybe it should even be biased to the right because the buffer name, flags, length, etc. are on the left, and it seems more important that they not be obscured than that the right end of the file pathname not be obscured.
