Subject: | bug#9084: 24.0.50; displaying man pages splits the window and formats the text for the full width of the whole frame rather than for the width of the window the text is displayed in, which is only 1/2 the width of the frame |

Ok, and how do users configure emacs to automatically split windows in such a way that they aren't wider (or narrower) than the text to be displayed in them while achieving the window layout they want? >> Does this plan involve functionality to freeze window layouts or to >> "frameify" windows? > > In the proposed designs such parts of the window layout are called > "window groups" or "framelettes" that can behave as a separate frame. Hm, sounds good to me. Is there some more info about this available? Will this be implemented?
