RE: excessive [?\C-x ?[] and [?\C-x ?]] paging needed in emacs dired-x buffers

[Daniel Ortmann]

Yes, I mean the title lines of directories inserted with "i".

The behavior is the same when I use "-q --no-site-file".

Here is contents of a dired-x buffer which exhibits the behavior.
I have uuencoded it in case my email screws it up.
(Drat this M$ Outlook!  I'll be glad when my Linux laptop comes in.)

Do you mean the title line of directories inserted with `i'?

I just tried that and it seems to work as in 20.7.  Could you please
try this starting from `emacs -q --no-site-file'?  If it still fails,
please provide a precise test case with which I can reproduce this.
