Hello Eric,

Replying on the BBDB mailing list as this seems to be a BBDB bug (or
feature?).

Yes, looking at bbdb.el, there is a `horiz-p' argument to
`bbdb-pop-up-window' which it gets passed from
`bbdb-display-records', but the latter function never sets it but
merely passes it through from it's argument list. And it does not
seem to ever be set in any call to `bbdb-display-records'.

So maybe `horiz-p' is a solution, but it will not work in current
BBDB. (Looking at BBDB 3.2 from GNU Elpa).
