This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386--freebsd, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Problem Description:

    Under X, resizing an upper window by pulling a mode-line down near a
    lower mode-line correctly causes the lower window to be _also_ moved
    down when the lower window's size gets too small.  But resizing a
    lower window by pulling the mode-line above it upwards does *not*
    bump the higher mode-line up, *nor* does the lower window get
    resized when the window above it hits its size limit.

Steps To Repeat:

    1) Start emacs under X.

    2) C-x 2 C-x 2 to get 3 windows in the frame.

    3) Grab the mode-line for the upper window and pull it down until it
       gets near the mode-line right below it.  Note that the lower
       window gets resized until it gets too small and then the lower
       mode-line gets moved down in step with the upper mode line.

    4) Now grab the middle mode line and pull it up, note that the
       mode-line above it does *not* get moved up when the lower
       mode-line gets near it.  In this case the lower window can only
       be increased in size by first pulling the upper mode-line UP and
       THEN also pulling the lower (i.e. the middle) mode-line up.

My Expectation:

    I expected that the up & down resizing behaviors would be similar.
