Subject: 23.0.91; doc-view: unexpected scrolling after returning to text mode
Date: Mon,  2 Mar 2009 19:38:08 +0100 (CET)

Given p.ps from:

   http://www.logic.at/prolog/p.ps

when I do:

1)   $ emacs -Q p.ps

2)   M-: (setq doc-view-ghostscript-options (list "-dSAFER" "-dNOPAUSE" "-sDEVICE=png16m" "-dTextAlphaBits=4" "-dBATCH" "-dGraphicsAlphaBits=4" "-dQUIET" "-dEPSCrop")) RET

3)   C-u - 1 M-r C-c C-c C-v C-c C-c

then (as expected) doc-view returns to text mode, and point is on the
same position where it was before entering graphics mode. When I then
press C-p repeatedly, instead of moving point to the previous line,
the text is unexpectedly scrolled down without moving point.

I can reproduce that (even without step 2) using

  GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of 2011-01-11 on thinkpad

However, C-p is bound to `previous-line' as usual in that context.

After edebugging a bit, I found that the reasion is that in

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun line-move (arg &optional noerror to-end try-vscroll)
  (unless (and auto-window-vscroll try-vscroll
	       ;; Only vscroll for single line moves
	       (= (abs arg) 1)
	       ;; But don't vscroll in a keyboard macro.
	       (not defining-kbd-macro)
	       (not executing-kbd-macro)
	       (line-move-partial arg noerror to-end))
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    (set-window-vscroll nil 0 t)
    (if line-move-visual
	(line-move-visual arg noerror)
      (line-move-1 arg noerror to-end))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

the underlined call scrolls one line and returns some integer in that
context.  That makes the and clause return non-nil, and so the unless
body is not executed.  I don't know this part of emacs, so I don't know
how to fix the issue...

But I don't think that has something to do with doc-view.

Bye,
Tassilo

I tried this in Emacs 27, but was unable to reproduce the error -- `C-p'
moves around as usual, as far as I can tell.

Are you still seeing this problem in modern versions of Emacs?

More information was requested some weeks back, but no response was
given, so I'm closing this bug report.  Please reopen if this is still
an issue.
