29.0.50; Cursor shows up at the middle of the screen after window start is forced when vscroll is set |

Starting from 'emacs -Q', press M-< in the scratch buffer, then say M-:
and evaluate:
(progn
(set-window-vscroll nil 30 t)
(redisplay)
(set-window-start nil (point-max)))
The cursor will then display in the center of the screen, which is not
the correct position.
Thanks.

Indeed, I'm closing this bug. Many thanks!
