I meant a recipe to show one window with the problem and another
without, in the same session.  If you achieve that with the same
resizing of a window, it'd be interesting to see.

The pixel size of the canonical character of that font, as you get in
your session, would be a good start.  E.g., put a breakpoint in
set_cursor_from_row, then step a few lines, and type "pgrow".

Here's the full recipe:

  gdb ./emacs
  break Fredraw_display
  r -Q

Now arrange for the problematic display, and then

  M-x redraw-display RET
  (gdb) break set_cursor_from_row
  (gdb) continue
  (gdb) continue
  (gdb) next
  (gdb) next
  (gdb) next
  (gdb) pgrow

The first "continue" is because the first time set_cursor_from_row is
entered Emacs is displaying the echo area, whereas I need to see the
window of a normal buffer.

The fact that pixel size changes, but the size in characters doesn't
is expected, of course.
