Subject: 24.4.50; Initial frame geometry on OSX
Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2014 09:36:24 +0200

When changing the default font and the height in default-frame-alist,
the width is not set correctly.  I have the following lines in the
.emacs file:

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Courier-14"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 71))

The default width, which is 80 characters, seems to be evaluated with
the default font, which is Monaco-12. Courier-14 is a bit wider, and
the initial frame is too narrow (it has only 70 characters per line).

When I change my settings to

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Courier-14"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 80))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 71))

everything is fine.  When I change my settings to

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Courier-14"))

leaving the height as ist is, the width of 80 characters per line is
also set correctly.

I am still on OS X Lion (10.7.5).

Thanks for the report - in particular for the two scenarios where
"everything is fine" or "set correctly".  I found the problem and am
working on a fix.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

> When changing the default font and the height in default-frame-alist,

When processing frame parameters we initially recorded the old frame
width first.  The following font change requested by

> (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Courier-14"))

implicitly enlarged the frame width but the next size change requested
by

> (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 71))

applies the old width recorded initially, discarding the width value
implied by the new font size.


This scenario

doesn't show the problem because it requests a new frame width as well,
so the new value is used instead of the recorded old value.


This scenario

>
> (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "Courier-14"))

doesn't show the problem because no explicit change of the frame size is
requested, so none of the old recorded values gets applied.


I checked in a fix on the emacs-24 release branch which will get merged
to trunk sooner or later.  If you are on trunk and want to test the fix
immediately (recommended), please try the attached patch.

Thanks once more for the recipe, martin
