scroll-left question

[Klaus Berndl]

What can be the reason(s) for the following (IMHO mysterious) behavior:

If i call interactively scroll-left (means by hitting C-x <) then all is
working fine, i.e. window/buffer is scrolled horiz.

But if i call it from program (simulated by doing M-: (scroll-left) RET) then
nothing happens.

And even more mysteriously this behavior is only true for some windows but for
other windows not, i.e. in some windows the behavior is identical regardless
if C-x < or M-: (scroll-left) RET...

It's not so easy to explain here all the differences between these window in
my elisp-application, therefore i made the approach first asking for possible
reasons for this behavior and the hopefully recognizing for myself if one of
the reasons applies to my elisp-application...

many thanks in advance!
Klaus
