=C2=A0Hi,

Info documentation for emacs 2= 4.2.1 instructs in section "21.22 Scroll Bars" that "To = control the use of scroll bars at startup, customize the variable`scrol= l-bar-mode'." However it fails to mention that it must be done by = calling set-scroll-bar-mode, since directly setting the variable has n= o real effect. This is explained in the built-in documentation for the = variable, but not in the Info documentation.

Cheers,
Jo= s=C3=A9 Luis

As the doc string also says: --- Setting the variable with a customization buffer also takes effect. --- So I think the manual is correct here, although it uses "customize the variable" in one specific sense; i.e., you have to use Customize -- you can't just set it with `setq' or the like. I've added a link to the Customization node here as a further hint in Emacs 27. --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Thu Aug 15 01:07:54 2019 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 15 Aug 2019 05:07:55 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:50376 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1hy7zO-0005z0-L0 for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Thu, 15 Aug 2019 01:07:54 -0400 Received: from quimby.gnus.org ([80.91.231.51]:35276) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1hy7zN-0005ys-3q for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Thu, 15 Aug 2019 01:07:53 -0400 Received: from 24-104-73-23-ip-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net ([24.104.73.23] helo=sandy) by quimby.gnus.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.89) (envelope-from ) id 1hy7zK-00082o-AQ for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Thu, 15 Aug 2019 07:07:52 +0200 Date: Wed, 14 Aug 2019 22:07:48 -0700 Message-Id: <87ef1n10ez.fsf@mouse.gnus.org> To: control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Lars Ingebrigtsen Subject: control message for bug #14321 X-Spam-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "quimby.gnus.org", has NOT identified this incoming email as spam.
