recenter behavior

[Jon V]

Hi,

I am using Emacs 22.1.1 on Linux, and I have a complaint regarding shell mode 
(or, it seems, any other interactive mode, like inferior-lisp).  With previous 
versions of Emacs, I got used to using recenter to keep shell output at 
eye-level, and also to make it clear where output began.  If you did a 0 C-L 
before issuing a shell command, then all you'd see on your screen would be 
command and its output (or less, if it scrolled off the screen, but the point 
is, you wouldn't see anything more).

With this version, when I do a C-L, it recenters the screen as expected, but 
after I type the command and hit enter, the text shifts so that the cursor is 
at the bottom of the screen, followed by the bouncing that accompanies 
scrolling past the bottom of the screen.  (This is, assuming that there is more 
than a screenful of history in the buffer.)

I'm not sure if this is a bug; it seems like it would have been done 
intentionally, though I'm not sure why.  Is there any way to get the old 
behavior back?

Thanks very much,
John
