At start, in the upper window.

In the other window only the last day of May is visible, so most of  
this buffer (seven out of eight lines or 87.5 %) is not visible  
because scrolled away.

It's a pity, it also scrolls (almost) all away! And therefore my  
report is not a bug report...


Sorry! I did not check, the X clients don't show a scroll-bar (except  
they're defective GTK-). Although I can see an advantage of this  
behaviour in a text buffer (last line of my writing far above the  
window's bottom, showing me that I have to continue to write) this  
behaviour and the scroll-bar are both useless in the *Calendar*  
buffer – when they don't scroll through the ages.
