Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Actions to reproduce: Start emacs with '-q' define the following function: (defun sacha/decrease-font-size () "Decreases the font size by 10%" (interactive) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height (floor (* 0.9 (face-attribute 'default :height))))) Maximize the emacs window execute sacha/decrease-font-size Symptoms: Font size is reduced, but usable parts of emacs are also reduced - large amounts of inaccessible whitespace left at the right/bottom of the window. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
