The current concept was really taken from BBDB v2. I am not using it. In that sense, I do not have strong feelings / much personal experience. Yet I want to understand what happens. In what sense is it more robust if BBDB splits a window that is the tallest window, but possibly completely unrelated with BBDB? Why is it not working for you if BBDB tries to select a window that is displaying something related to BBDB (in addition to the criterion that the window should be as tall as possible)?

Re: bbdb-check-auto-save-file is broken

If BBDB detects that you have an auto-save-file that is newer than bbdb-file, why is it not OK to save it and then go on? when you are editing a file, would you like to be asked to save it every few minutes? auto-save exists so that I can save when I am ready to save (note that / c is reset after each save!) not whenever I am about to hit space. Could it be a better solution to check if an auto-save file already exists when BBDB is about to create a new one so that there would be two auto-save files? -- Oops, that doesn't work either! BBDB will try to create the auto-save file if the db has already be modified. So that's too late. I want to think about this once more, what can be a better order of things.

In that case you might appreciate my shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer patch: v2 created a fixed height *BBDB* window, v3 creates a *BBDB* window half the height of the tallest one.

Why is it not working for you if BBDB tries to select a window that is displaying something related to BBDB (in addition to the criterion that the window should be as tall as possible)? Because the horiz-p argument is not always passed, which means that the my (bbdb-message-pop-up 'horiz) setting is ignored unless *BBDB* window is popped from a very specific place (which it is not always is).
