Subject: 24.3; Inconsistent behavior of scroll-bar-mode
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:27:05 +0200

Hello, I wanted to customize my Emacs so as not to show scroll-bars in
any frame. Initially, I did this through custom

(custom-set-variables
 '(scroll-bar-mode nil))

and this works fine. I wanted to get rid of the custom-set-variables
section alltogether in my init.el file. According to the docstrings, the
only thing you have to do is call the function scroll-bar-mode

(scroll-bar-mode -1)

This indeed removes scroll bars in the initial frame, but *not* in
subsequent frames, which is in contradiction with the docstring. I
thought maybe this was a bug.

Best regards,
Sébastien

I cannot reproduce this here.  Can you show a reproducible recipe
starting from "emacs -Q"?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.
