Running emacs 19.26, config m88k-harris-cxux, under the X interface, the screen fails to show me a newline I just inserted at beginning of window. To reproduce, start emacs with the -no-init-file option and edit the following file, then follow the instructions embedded in the file starting at line 4: ------------------------------cut here------------------------------ idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 Position this line at the top of the screen with the cursor at beginning of line Hit ENTER (bound to the newline function), and the screen doesn't change. The nice new blank line I just typed is invisible. xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh idsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkidsffjljkbnlkdjbnkdfj dlkfbdkjbkdjbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh djbkdfj 387629087769058795 xmn nvmnbmn ieruhlkfjbh03957y3908tkdlfjbgjh ------------------------------cut here------------------------------ I only just noticed this under 19.26, but I tried 19.25 and even 18.55 and it exhibits the same behavior. I really expect the empty line I just produced to be visible at the top of the screen. I think this may be too much of a good thing as far as optimizing screen updates goes (But apparently it has always been thus - I can't believe this is the first time I noticed it :-). -- Tom.Horsley@mail.csd.harris.com Home: 511 Kingbird Circle Delray Beach FL 33444 Work: Harris Computers, 2101 W.
