Re: modeline shows wrong percentage
Hmmm, you're right. Bothe problems have been resolved in the most
recent 21.4 releases, but I'd say they are pretty unlikely to be fixed
for 21.1.

In the modeline, XEmacs shows the percentage of the file which is
before the current scroll position. When XEmacs loads the test file
described below, it shows the wrong percentage.
The test file in question is very large (32 MB). To reproduce this
bug, please recreate this large file by running the following C++
program:
#include <fstream.h>
int main() {
ofstream of("testfile");
for (int i = 0; i < 500000; i++)
of <<
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n";
}
1. Load "testfile" into XEmacs.
2. Type M-> to go to the end of the buffer. Then it says "Bot".
3. Type M-v to scroll backwards. Then it says, "31". But I think it
should say 99%.
In addition to the number being wrong, another problem is that the percent
sign is missing.
