Re: Issue with master build on macOS

[Angelo Graziosi]

It seems that the interfering factor is the desktop file.

I have renamed it

mv desktop desktop-save

Now when I start Emacs without the desktop file it starts right but if I just 
save it (without having visited any buffer), the bad behavior restarts, 
shrinking the frame. In this case, one time it starts bad one time it start 
right... systematically
