Sorry for the confusion I've caused here - those 3 buttons belong to another application whose window I have shaded (so that the rest of it is not visible). The emacs scroll bars and fringe disappear when the window gets the maximise command. When the maximise happens - as you see the frame doesn't appear to change size but it does relocate - it starts off in the centre of the screen and f11 causes it to move to the top left of the screen - so the correct place - if only the rest of the frame were the correct size! It would appear that the frame is only showing part of what should be there - on further experimentation I've managed to 'maximise' so that the top window appears ok but the lower window only displays a few lines with no mode line visible and C-x o takes me into that area of around 3.5 lines and I could scroll up and down in that window without a mode line. > > > Is the maximise state happening but the border is only giving a > > partial window and the other buffer is there but the frame cuts off > > visibility? > > The frame dump you sent earlier indicates that the Emacs frame/window > handling code considers everything in order.

You mean before exiting emacs and that saving the desktop file and with an un'maximised' bad frame? I get (evaluating it in *scratch*) (see end of message - maybe I've misunderstood you here and you wanted the output with just one window in the bad frame - the output from that option is at the end) frame pixel: 992 x 648 cols/lines: 124 x 36 units: 8 x 18 frame text pixel: 960 x 648 cols/lines: 120 x 36 tool: 0 scroll: 16 fringe: 16 border: 0 right: 0 bottom: 0 #<window 7> parent: nil pixel left: 0 top: 0 size: 992 x 630 new: 992 char left: 0 top: 0 size: 124 x 35 new: 124 normal: 1.0 x 1.0 new: nil #<window 3 on .emacs> parent: #<window 7> pixel left: 0 top: 0 size: 992 x 314 new: 992 char left: 0 top: 0 size: 124 x 17 new: 124 normal: 1.0 x 0.5 new: nil body pixel: 960 x 296 char: 120 x 16 width left fringe: 8 left margin: 0 right margin: 0 width right fringe: 8 scroll-bar: 16 divider: 0 height header-line: 0 mode-line: 18 divider: 0 #<window 8 on *scratch*> parent: #<window 7> pixel left: 0 top: 314 size: 992 x 316 new: 992 char left: 0 top: 17 size: 124 x 18 new: 124 normal: 1.0 x 0.5 new: nil body pixel: 960 x 298 char: 120 x 16 width left fringe: 8 left margin: 0 right margin: 0 width right fringe: 8 scroll-bar: 16 divider: 0 height header-line: 0 mode-line: 18 divider: 0 #<window 4 on *Minibuf-0*> parent: nil pixel left: 0 top: 630 size: 992 x 18 new: 0 char left: 0 top: 35 size: 992 x 1 new: 240 normal: 1.0 x 1.0 new: 0 body pixel: 960 x 18 char: 120 x 1 width left fringe: 8 left margin: 0 right margin: 0 width right fringe: 8 scroll-bar: 16 divider: 0 height header-line: 0 mode-line: 0 divider: 0 I then exit and here is desktop-saved-frameset (setq desktop-saved-frameset [frameset 1 (21292 26291 660046 398000) (desktop .
