Gnus/5.1007 (Gnus v5.10.7) Emacs/21.3.50 (gnu/linux) |
In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.4.13)
of 2004-12-08 on dugong
Distributor `The XFree86 Project, Inc', version 11.0.40300001
configured using `configure '--with-gtk''
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
value of $LC_TIME: nil
value of $LANG: nil
locale-coding-system: nil
default-enable-multibyte-characters: t
The behaviour of ispell-help (after e.g., ispell-word) is sensitive to
the value of resize-mini-windows and the default value of
truncate-lines in unexpected ways.
With the default values of these variables, 3 lines of help are shown
in a minibuffer window; with (setq resize-mini-windows t), the 3 lines
of help are still shown correctly.
However, with (setq resize-mini-windows t) and (setq-default
truncate-lines t), the minibuffer window isn't resized, and only the
last line of help is shown. In some circumstances, ispell-help causes
the *Choices* window to increase in height (e.g., when the frame is
split into two windows, and the cursor is in the upper one, or when
the *Choices* window is one line high).
In summary, the behaviour is:
+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------------+
|truncate-lines|resize-mini-windows|minibuffer height|ispell-help |
+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------------+
|nil |grow-only |3 |OK (all help visible)|
+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------------+
|nil |t |3 |OK |
+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------------+
|nil |nil |3 |lines 2/3 visible |
+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------------+
|t |grow-only |3 |OK |
+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------------+
|t |t |1 |line 3 visible |
+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------------+
|t |nil |3 |lines 2/3 visible |
+--------------+-------------------+-----------------+---------------------+
When both variables are `t', I'd expect the minibuffer window to
display all the help. (Someone better qualified can decide what the
behaviour should be when resize-mini-windows is nil.)
Thanks,
Matt
