Package: emacs21
Version: 21.3+1-9
Severity: normal
As you may or may not be aware, "ion" is a window manager in which, rather
than drag windows around the screen, you tile the screen into "frames" and
attach windows to each frame -- not unlike an Emacs window, in fact. If
emacs is running under ion and the font size has been decreased, it contracts
its window to only fill part of the frame when it starts up. I briefly see
it filling the whole frame, and then it "resizes" itself to fill only part of
the frame. If I resize the frame in any way, emacs notices and fills it all
again.
In a floating workspace (like a 'normal' wm) I briefly see a large version
of the window, and then it shrinks when the font size changes. My guess is
that when run on a tiled workspace, emacs doesn't notice that it can't
actually change its window size, so instead of expanding to the frame size it
shrinks to keep the same number of columns.
I haven't tested this, but I presume that expanding the font size might
result in a window that's *larger* than its frame, which is even worse.

This bug has been reported against an ancient version of emacs (emacs21,
emacs22) that is no longer supported. It is assumed to be fixed (or no
longer relevant) in newer releases and therefore I'm closing this report
now. If the problem is still reproducible in the current version
(emacs24), feel free to provide more information and reopen this bug report.
