Re: scroll-left *Disabled Command* buffer is too short


From: martin rudalics
Subject: Re: scroll-left *Disabled Command* buffer is too short
Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2007 14:57:27 +0200
User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Windows/20041206)

Note that the last line of this buffer:

   !   to try it, and enable all disabled commands for this session only.

is not visible.  And since, after displaying this message,
disabled-command-function awaits user input, there is no way within
Emacs to see that last line before responding.  (It is, however,
possible to see it by using the window manager to increase the height
of the Emacs frame, if the monitor allows it.  But this wouldn't help
if you're running Emacs in a tty with sufficiently few screen lines.)

Could you please try the attached patch?
