Better yet, to fix this for all cases, would be to put the added text on the next line (indented to be aligned with the command name).
Always putting it on the next line would be worse in the usual case since fewer commands would fit on the screen. I've never seen a list of bindings what would not require vertical scrolling anyway, so I don't think adding to the vertical dimension would do any harm. There are not 8 million such commands. In the case I saw, there were 5 of them. On the other hand, even a single line that is too wide wipes out the effort to make all lines respect the standard width. And if a frame is fit to the buffer, it makes the frame unnecessarily wide. Making that text smaller might be an improvement. That's not a real solution. Adding to the vertical dimension and respecting the standard width is what we do in general - think of doc strings. We don't make some doc strings a bit wider, thinking that it might help all of them fit on the screen. And in the case of doc strings, that really would usually make them fit on the screen. In the case of `C-h b', the list of bindings is far too long anyway to fit on the screen, even if we doubled the line length. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
