In article <KPC.92Aug8185051@zog.arc.nasa.gov> kpc@pluto.arc.nasa.gov (k p c) writes:
   often when i vm a large file, the pointer (the -> that points to
   messages) is actually below the window that is shown.  the point (the
   cursor) is in the window, but the pointer is below.  then if i type p
   or n, the whole window changes down to where the pointer is.  this can
   be disconcerting and the only workaround is to hit spc when entering a
   vm file.

This happens to me when I start to reply to some mail but then change
my mind and kill the reply buffer (C-x k RET).  Very disturbing the
first time I saw it happen.  Now it's just damn annoying...

   (i am using vm 5.32 with various jwz type hacks that might be
   affecting this behavior.)

This happens in clean-n-pure 5.32.
