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

There was no action that triggered the bug to my knowledge.

Ever since I installed GNU Emacs for windows, I would open Emacs through

the command prompt, and the window height would exceed the height my

screen. The bottom 5-7 lines were always cut off. In windows, program
windows

can usually be resized, and the window size would be the same when the

program is reinitialized, but this technique did not work with this

version of Emacs.

Fortunately, I found your contanct information, and Drew Adams was able

to help me fix the issue. Emacs is no longer cut off when I open the

program.



Thank you,

Nathan

So is there a problem we should try solving, or isn't there?

With emacs -Q in buffer *scratch* please insert the following two forms

(display-monitor-attributes-list)

(frame-geometry)

move the cursor after each of the closing parentheses, type C-x C-e
there and post here whatever Emacs prints (you can find that in the
buffer *Messages*).  Here I get

(((geometry 0 0 1680 1050) (workarea 0 0 1680 1022) (mm-size 470 293) (name . "\\\\.\\DISPLAY1") (frames #<frame emacs <at> MACHNO 01ba0070>)))

((outer-position 88 . 88) (outer-size 680 . 658) (external-border-size 4 . 4) (title-bar-size 654 . 19) (menu-bar-external . t) (menu-bar-size 672 . 19) (tool-bar-external) (tool-bar-position . top) (tool-bar-size 680 . 36) (internal-border-width . 0))

IIRC this wouldn't work in any version of Emacs.  You need to "save the
desktop" in order to accomplish that.

Thanks, martin
