In GNU Emacs 18.55.6 of Mon Jun 25 1990 on icule (usg-unix-v)

Suppose I do the following sequence, on a buffer which is long enough
to do not fit completely in the window:

   Command and purpose			Indicator after command

	M-<	go to the beginning of the buffer	Top
	M->	set mark and go to the end		Bot
	C-w	remove the whole contents		Bot

or even the following sequence, instead:

   Command and purpose			Indicator after command

	M->	go to the end of the buffer		Bot
	M-<	set mark and go to the beginning	Top
	C-w	remove the whole contents		Top

In both cases, the indicator should rather be `All' right away, as
soon as the window display the whole (empty) buffer.  The indicator
will be correctly updated, however, if the cursor ever leave the
window, for example to go to another window, even to the minibuffer.
