This patch for comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom is still necessary in XEmacs 21.0, I suspect because the fundamental recenter bug reported against 20.4 still exists. Without this patch, running a program that outputs stuff in the *shell* window past the bottom of the buffer, leaves point in the middle of the buffer and the prompt past the bottom. -Barry -------------------- snip snip -------------------- *** comint.el 1998/07/31 16:20:05 1.1 --- comint.el 1998/07/31 16:21:26 1.2 *************** *** 1527,1534 **** 1)) (t -1)) ! window ! ))) )))) nil t)))) --- 1527,1534 ---- 1)) (t -1)) ! window) !
