This bug was fixed by RMS on 2004-11-02: ** scroll-preserve-screen-position doesn't work with a header-line-format From: [e-mail] Date: Tue, 17 Aug 2004 17:10:14 -0400 There seems to be an off-by-one error triggered by using a header line together with scroll-preserve-screen-position. The symptom: instead of staying in the same position on the screen when scrolling, the cursor moves one screen line down each time the buffer is scrolled. Put another way: repeatedly typing C-v M-v or using a mouse scroll wheel to scroll up and down causes the cursor to migrate slowly down the screen instead of staying put as it should. To reproduce: emacs -q --no-site-file (setq scroll-preserve-screen-position t) (setq header-line-format "") C-v M-v C-v M-v C-v M-v etc.

GNU Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
Richard Levitte <[e-mail]> is distributing and maintaining a
version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
on both VAX and Alpha architectures.  For more information see

[Update 2003-11-24: I am working on integrating VMS-specific bits
 back into the repository.  There are some work-in-progress files
 in this directory as a result.  Do not be alarmed!  --ttn]
