> To reproduce:

>   Click S-mouse-1 and select "Change Buffer Font"
>   Under "Size" type 6 and click OK

> You should now have *scratch* buffer displayed with a very small font
>
>   Hit RET 5 times to have a 10-line buffer
>   C-x 2
>   C-u 10 C-x ^

> You should now have 2 windows displaying *scratch*, the lower one about

I attached a patch that tries to fix this scenario.  Please have a
look.

Thanks, martin
