I am forwarding the following bug description submitted by George_VanAusdall@ATT.Com: Emacs 18.55 on a Teletype 730 terminal (a terminal with a vt100-style scrolling region) exhibits the following behavior: After doing C-x 2 to create a second window, if C-n is typed while the cursor is in the bottom line of the top window, Emacs sometimes uses the scrolling region to scroll just the top window, and other times scrolls the whole screen up and then scrolls the bottom window back down (it also sometimes just redraws the text in the top window -- I'm ignoring these cases). In all cases, the screen ends up correct, but the "jumping" of the bottom window is visually annoying. The difference appears to be whether or not echoed keystrokes are displayed at the bottom of the screen before typing the C-n command. If the echo line is clear, then Emacs scrolls just the top window. If there are characters on the echo line (which Emacs wants to erase), then Emacs scrolls the whole screen, causing the bottom window to jump up and down.
