Re: Question about weird vscroll behavior

[dalanicolai]

Thank you Eli,

I just realized I forgot to be clear about my question.

The problem is that after evaluating the code, here,

after starting from emacs -Q, the vscroll value is still

zero.

So I was wondering what is the value when doing

M-: (window-vscroll nil t)

after evaluating the example code.

So Eli, when you say it works, do you mean that

vscroll value is 300?

Thanks again...

Works for me in "emacs -Q".
