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.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
