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

 This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
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.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

% emacs -Q -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-m-110-iso10646-1

(or monospace-18 if you have Xft).

Notice that the fringe close to scroll bar is much wider than the other
fringe (see screenshot).  This appears to depend on the font size, as
for smaller fonts, the effect is not that noticable.
For example, with Gtk+ and lucid, monospace-19 shows this rather well,
but for monospace-20, there is little difference.  But for monospace-20
the fringes are much smaller than for monospace-20.  Why?

Seen on lucid, Motif/Lesstif, and Gtk+ Emacs builds.

FWIW, I see that the 23-branch has some fringe patches that trunk hasn't.  But 
the same problem is in the 23-branch.

Hasn't it been like that since this change?

There is something off with the calculations for the frame size then.  Check 
attached screen shots.  The right fringe is not visible.

The frame size calculation uses f->scroll_bar_actual_width which in this case 
is 16.  But the finge padding must be 14 pixels (font width is 15, so I assume 
padding to 30 is done).

In what frame parameter or struct frame member is this padding seen if not in 
scroll_bar_actual_width?

Please don't suggest using columns * font width, it would just make the 
restriction of integral font width harder to remove.

The change I made in 2007-07-27 has nothing to do with the calculation
of fringe width, the position of fringes, or frame size calculation.
It just fills the gap between a fringe and a scroll bar with the
fringe background color when appropriate.  The gap is still a part of
scroll bar area painted by the same color with the adjacent fringe
background.  So if something is wrong with frame size calculation,
then that should have happened without my change.

That is true.  I see your patch uses WINDOW_CONFIG_SCROLL_BAR_WIDTH, and there 
is a corresponding FRAME_CONFIG_SCROLL_BAR_WIDTH, but that is never set.

However, I think that scroll bars at the frame level (i.e. left or right edge 
of the frame) don't need any padding.  It is only on other window scroll bars
that padding is needed, to keep integral column width.

I'll try something based on that.

Even for a leftmost/rightmost scroll bar, some adjustment is necessary
if its width/position is configured differently from what the frame
parameter specifies (scroll bar width/position can be specified per
frame, per buffer, and per window).  Perhaps the current fringe
background extension code can be reused for such cases.

Good luck!

Simple fix checked in.  Complete solution (remove scroll bar width 
restriction) is a longer undertaking.
