Whew, that's a relief!

Yes, when I wrote "about 3000 pixels" I was thinking of a different
post from the same person and I conflated the two.

This detective stuff is fun but time consuming.  In the ChangeLog I see
this entry:

0.94: Ready! Fire! Aim!
<snippage>
* fixed resize error in tabbed layout mode. (Robert Marshall, Eric
Ortega)

That was done before git, unfortunately.  Can you think of a way I can
find out what code was patched?  Was there a VCS repo before git?  I
can't remember back that far :)

BTW, I see that I can put pan in non-tabbed mode and then use Ctrl-1
and Ctrl-2 to leave only the body pane visible and the bug doesn't
trigger, so pan is still in non-tabbed mode even though visually pan
looks like it isn't.

Hm, no, that's not right.  In tabbed mode pan displays the tabs as well
as the body pane.  That code could be a place to start looking...
