Epoch 4.0p1 on Iris 4D running Irix 4.0.1.

Scroll-down (M-v) seems to get out of sync because I have styles in my
mode-line that contain fonts of different sizes.  I'm unable to
scroll-down to the beginning of the buffer.  A characteristic is that
the cursor is left in the middle of the window after scroll-down, not
at the bottom.  I do not see this error in ASCII mode.

If all the styles in my mode-line have the same size font as the rest
of the buffer, I get the correct behavior for scroll-down.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?  Is there a fix?

I'm running on both an HP9000s700 and a Sparc with SunOS 4.1.1.

I see the same thing. It also happens in info, mh-e, and other
places where some key is bound to scroll-down. I can't get to the
top of the buffer unless I do a M-<. Annoying.

This seems to be the cause for me as well.

I don't know of one, I just wanted to let you know there are others
with the same problem.

Enjoy,
Ed
