When I put Emacs in fullscreen mode, it seems to me that the last line
(echo area/minibuffer) takes too much, unnecessary vertical space.
Test conditions:
- emacs-version => "GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.20.1) of 2010-07-31 on jesus-desktop".
- OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (32 bits CPU).
To reproduce the bug:
1.- Start Emacs in fullscreen: "emacs -Q -fs" (see "fullscreen.png").
Here you will see the echo area too high.
2.- Now, to compare, start Emacs in normal window: "emacs -Q" (see
"normal-window.png"). Here you will see the echo area properly dimensioned.
Another (i think easier) way to reproduce the bug: switch from normal
window to fullscreen mode, by using the following Elisp function:
(defun toggle-fullscreen ()
(interactive)
(let ((current-value (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)))
(set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen
(if (equal current-value 'fullboth)
(if (boundp 'old-fullscreen) old-fullscreen nil)
(progn (setq old-fullscreen current-value)
'fullboth)))))
; optional shortcut
(global-set-key [f11] 'toggle-fullscreen)
