> However, before pushing the patch, let's solve another problem

> 2. M-x man RET man RET
> 3. C-M-v (scroll-other-window)
> 4. Reduce the width of the frame
> 5. manpage window jumps back to the beginning

Why does it do that?  I can try to find out by myself but I hope you
already know better.

I don't have any objections but we'd have to say why it is necessary for
curing the above problem.
