[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 report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list

and the gnu.emacs.bug news group, and at http://debbugs.gnu.org.

 

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':

 

Execute "runemacs --fullscreen" at a Windows command prompt. I would

expect that Emacs would open filling the screen, more or less, apart

from the taskbar, but it doesn't. The Emacs window is about 20% too

short, it is the width of the full screen but hides under the taskbar

(which I have along the right side) and the top left corner of the

window is below and to the right of the top left corner of the screen.

Replacing "--fullscreen" with "--maximized" behaves similarly and the

window is certainly not maximized because I can still maximize it by

clicking on the maximize button at the top right corner of the window.

If I add "-q" or "-Q" to the command line then "--fullscreen" and

"--maximized" both seem to be ignored completely, with one exception:

"runemacs -q --fullscreen" and "runemacs -q --maximized" both cause the

Emacs logo to be positioned at the right side of the window so that half

of it is outside the window, instead of being centred.

 

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'.

For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file

c:/Emacs/emacs-23.2.92/etc/DEBUG.

Hi Francis

Sorry for not responding earlier but I had no idea whether --fullscreen
was supposed to work on Windows at all.  I recently made a number of
changes in this area and hopefully fixed this particular problem too.
So if you have a chance to access current master/trunk, please try it.

Thank you very much for the report, martin
