25.1.50; completion buffer changes window size |
|
Date: |
Mon, 28 Nov 2016 20:09:29 -0500 |
To reproduce:
1. start emacs -Q
2. M-x shell
3. ls ./<tab><tab>
4. A temporary buffer pops up with all possible completions.
- if your home directory is big enough, this buffer will take up a
large portion of the frame
5. press <space>
6. The completions are dismissed, but the frame remains in its new
configuration, with 90% of the space taken up by the window where the
completions had been listed (this window has now returned to the
shell-mode buffer).
What I would expect to happen instead is that when the completions are
dismissed, the window configuration returns to the state it was in
before pressing tab: that is, the top half is the scratch buffer, the
bottom half is the shell-mode buffer.
Thanks,
Tyler

The bugs leading to this behavior should have been fixed now on master
with commit
23d3eeb798c7edc27898b0dbd4c2364a6ca6247d
Note that to get the desired behavior you have to (1) recompile
window.el and after that (2) recompile all users of the macro
`with-displayed-buffer-window' - that is, the files minibuffer.el and
dired.el and finally (3) rebuild Emacs.
If for some reason you cannot build Emacs or work with master, please
tell me. I'll then try to explain how to get the desired behavior with
Emacs 25 and your .emacs alone. Meanwhile closing this bug.
Many thanks for the report, martin
