Bug#470556: emacs22: scroll-margin and scroll-preserve-screen-position cause refresh problem |
Date: |
Tue, 11 Mar 2008 22:34:29 +0100 |
Package: emacs22
Version: 22.1+1-3
Severity: normal
With this very minimal '.emacs' file
---BEGIN---
(custom-set-variables
'(scroll-margin 2)
'(scroll-preserve-screen-position t)
)
---END---
hitting page-up and page-down (or C-v and M-v) in any order just after
having open an exiting file does not update the buffer view immediatly.
In other words, you open a file, and you hit page-down a couple of
times; the scroll bar and the status bar get updated immediatly, while
the content of the window is update only after some time, which could be
less than a second (but the delay is noticeable) or also a few seconds.
If you move the cursor using the arrow keys, the problem disappear. If
you move the cursor to the very first line of the buffer, though, and
then hit page-down, you'll see the problem again.
I'm using X. In a terminal window Emacs seems to work fine.
I've experienced this problem for a while, but only now I found the
cause. It's more apparent with files of a few hundred lines.
Best regards,
Bernardo
