24.1; fit-window-to-buffer does not grab whole frame |
|

Start emacs -Q. Visit a file larger than the current frame.
Split the frame, Display other stuff in second window.
Select the window with the large file.
Eval
(fit-window-to-buffer (selected-window))
Expected result: The window should grab the whole frame. From the
docstring of fit-window-to-buffer
Optional argument MAX-HEIGHT specifies the maximum height of
WINDOW and defaults to the height of WINDOW's frame.
Remarks:
(1) This works as documented with GNU Emacs 23.1.
-- Of course, the old behavior was counterintuitive in the sense
that the name of fit-window-to-buffer refers to windows, not to
frames. But an incompatible change in behavior should be
documented.
(2) I suggest that the elisp manual should also mention the default
values of MAX-HEIGHT and MIN-HEIGHT (as in the docstring).
(3) The relation between the new arg OVERRIDE (not present in Emacs
23.1) and window-min-height and window-min-width is not clear to
me. If MIN-HEIGHT is non-nil, shouldn't this already ignore
window-min-height? Also, if OVERRIDE is nil, what is the
relevance of window-min-width? I expect fit-window-to-buffer is
supposed to obey window-min-width. But it would clarify things
if this was spelled out.

OK. Closing this bug.
