23.0.60; dired-pop-to-buffer: use fit-window-to-buffer |

Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/23.0.60 (gnu/linux) |
In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.21 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
of 2008-12-03 on escher
1. emacs -Q
2. Eval this:
(define-minor-mode my-mm ()
"My minor mode."
:global t
(if my-mm
(setq default-header-line-format
'(:eval (propertize "test" 'face '(:overline t))))
(setq default-header-line-format nil)))
3. Enable my-mm.
4. C-x d foo (where `foo' is some directory with at least three files,
e.g. emacs/lisp).
5. Mark three files in foo.
6. Type `C'
==> The popped up buffer *Marked Files* shows only two of the three
marked files.
Likewise if the value of the 'face property in my-mm has a non-nil :box
attribute. In contrast, if the value of the 'face property is
'(:underline t) (but not '(:underline t :overline t)), then in step 6
all three marked files are shown, though with no room to spare.
I guess the basic problem here is that Emacs calculates window-height in
integral equally sized line numbers. But less fundamentally and more
directly, this problem arises, AFAICT, because dired-pop-to-buffer's
shrink-to-fit code fails to account for header lines. To fix this it
would suffice to add this sexp above the last sexp in
dired-pop-to-buffer:
(with-current-buffer buf
(and header-line-format
(progn (select-window w2) (enlarge-window 1))))
However, unless I'm missing something, fit-window-to-buffer does what
dired-pop-to-buffer's shrink-to-fit code does, and moreover also handles
header lines. From perusing the change logs, I found several instances
where fit-window-to-buffer replaces library-specific code, and this
appears to be another candidate (dired-pop-to-buffer was introduced many
years before fit-window-to-buffer), in addition to fixing the above bug.
I'm not able to fix the display code to let window-height return
fractional line numbers, so I propose the following patch:

(defcustom dired-no-confirm nil

(Note that if the frame is shrunk so that not all marked file names fit
in the *Marked Files* window, then without an oversized header line as
is my-mm, dired-pop-to-buffer fails with the error "Attempt to delete
minibuffer or sole ordinary window"; whereas with an oversized header
line, this error is raised only if not even one file name can be shown.
But I see this difference in behavior whether or not the above patch is
applied.)
