bug#5695: 23.1; widget-choose buffer lacking options

[Dani Moncayo]

Hi Chong,

I've reproduced this bug both in a terminar (starting emacs with -nw) and in graphical mode. But thanks to your mail I've discovered the root of the problem:

I've just noticed that the problem arises if (and only if) I start emacs loading my .emacs file. So, i've been testing a bit and i've discovered that the line that produces the problem is the one that sets the next-screen-context-lines variable to 4.

So, now the question is: Is that behaviour correct?

I think it isn't, because i'm not scrolling into the widget-choose window.

I've attached the screenshot that you requested, and also my .emacs file.

Thank you. Dani.

I assume you're using `emacs -nw' to run Emacs in a terminal.  I haven't
been able to reproduce this in xterm running on GNU/Linux.  Can you
reproduce this with `emacs -Q -nw' to disable customizations?  If so,
could you take a screenshot of the terminal frame when the widget-choose
window is up?
