I can't image a situation when someone will want to display a narrow window on a full-height side window. At least I think currently we should restore the old behavior when these commands displayed a narrow window below the original window instead of a side window. I think a general rule of thumb for finding all such cases should be the following: when there is a call to `fit-window-to-buffer' after calling `pop-to-buffer' then split windows vertically because otherwise `fit-window-to-buffer' makes no sense since it adjusts the window height and can't do this on a full-height horizontally split window. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
