Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


When show-trailing-whitespace is on, the scroll-margin feature doesn't 
work when approaching the bottom of a window (though it does work for 
the top of a window).  Setting show-trailing-whitespace to nil makes the 
problem go away.


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/22.2/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I've just checked in fixes to Emacs' display engine that should solve
the problems with scroll-margin.  These fixes are not safe enough for
Emacs 22, but they'll be present in Emacs 23 (current CVS trunk).

Thanks for the bug reports.
