bug#34357: Non-Emacs feeling

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

This is a bug report not so much against GNU Emacs, but against the users who 
changed Emacs recently. To me it seems some users do not understand the spirit 
of Emacs when making changes. If you don't like Emacs, use another editor, but 
do not make Emacs like other editors!

Two examples:

1: Since some versions you cannot autocomplete the buffer you are visiting any 
more: A typical use-case is that you want to visit the buffer you are editing 
in another window, like after C-x 4 b. Now you must completely type the buffer 
name, an absolute mis-feature!

2: When long lines are being displayed, mark up and down do not change the 
position to the next logical line (as defined by the buffer), but to the 
displayed line (subject to screen and font size). If you are at the beginning 
of a long line, and you want to move to the next line (maybe to insert 
something), this "change"  is a nightmare. I know it can be customized, but why 
is the incompatible stupid setting the new default?

I could also mention half-window vertical scrolling...
