The *BBDB* window was exactly the same size as the *Article* window before or after the splitting? Are you using multiple *BBDB* windows? Is the *Article* window the window you want to split or do you want to split a different window? > > The arg horiz-p is really used only by the function > > bbdb-mua-auto-update. > > And this is the problem.

It was the basic idea in BBDB v2 that horizontal window splitting was used only for MUA windows (using mua-specific versions of the command bbdb-mua-auto-update). The old behavior appeared reasonable to me and I don't think I changed concepts here for BBDB v3 (though details are different). As you come from BBDB v2 I have been trying to understand this better. > > Under what circumstances does it not fit your needs and you want to > > call the command bbdb-display-records instead? > > Every now and then the *BBDB* window is created by a vertical split > instead of a horizontal one despite bbdb-message-pop-up == horiz. This "every now and then" has been what I was hoping to understand. Before the code gets changed, it would help to know more specifically which issue(s) a change is supposed to address. Oh well. I'll look at the code to see whether it can make sense to implement something like a value 'horiz-force for bbdb-message-pop-up. Yet right now, I do not want to promise anything. > Happy new year!
