Actually there are a few other things we could do: 1 - try to keep messages short (which was my original point and is always the best solution when it's available). 2 - use scrolling if the message is larger than the minibuffer (IIRC there was some package back in Emacs-20 days that did just that).
This issue arose from my change to put the entire backup file name in a message. That message will be visible for most users, so I will keep the change. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
