Subject: 23.3; error: attempt to drag the rightmost scrollbar
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:21:47 +0200

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':

Dear emacs hackers, 

In short: 

\C-x 3 
try to drag the left border of the right window with the left mouse
button: 
“Attempt to drag the rightmost scrollbar”

When I try to resize the windows, I get that error. When I have 3
windows, I can resize the left two windows, but not the right one. 

Best wishes, 
Arne

For me it seems to be a matter of where the drag starts.  If it starts just 
some pixels in to the rightmost windows mode line I get that message.
If I start the drag a few pixels to the left, in the mode line of the window 
next to the rightmost window, I can resize the rightmost window.

Is this the case for you also?

What happens is that `mouse-drag-vertical-line' is too naive when
guessing the edge that shall be dragged from the START-EVENT argument.
If the window returned via (car (car (cdr start-event))) is the
rightmost window it simply complains if scrollbars are on the right.

In addition a check like

     ((and (eq which-side 'right)
	   (>= (nth 2 (window-inside-edges start-event-window))
	       (frame-width start-event-frame)))
      (error "Attempt to drag rightmost scrollbar"))

doesn't make any sense because it compares `frame-width' with window
edges, two things which are not comparable.  Finally, the routine
`mouse-drag-vertical-line-rightward-window' hardly DTRT either so the
entire code would probably have to be rewritten from scratch.  All this
would be much simpler if we had vertical divider lines in addition to
scrollbars :-(

BTW this bug is likely the same as #5357 so the two should be merged
despite of the fact that #5357 is tagged "emacs.ns".

Should be fixed now on trunk.  Please try again.

Thanks, martin

PS: The fix doesn't address one annoying problem in this context.  If
you are in a right window, dragging its left divider will select some
window on the left.  Fixing this might require some principal change in
Emacs' event structure and will be left for post Emacs 24.1.

This and a few other issues should have been fixed now.
