For what it's worth, a few days ago I upped X's color depth from 8 to
16 bpp and was forced to drop resolution from 1280x1024 to 1024x768,
and am now seeing the same problem. This should not happen as I am on
a Linux box with fvwm as window manager. It did not happen in the
past at that 1024x768 resolution as far as I can remember, and doesn't
happen with XEmacs 20.4.
What seems to be happening is that XEmacs is querying the environment
for the size of window it can accept, sets the text area to that size,
and then proceeds to add menu and toolbar to that. Now that I'm
looking for it, I realize that the opposite thing seems to be
happening with side toolbars, as in VM. VM thinks its getting an 80
character line, but in fact it's less, by exactly the amount of the
toolbar as close as I can see.
Checking with an old Uzbek Black, the line-length miscalculation
happens there too, and happens on a 1280x1024 display. It's hard to
say what's happening vertically as the 1024 vertical resolution is
plenty to handle the
