[9fans] Bug: Acme: Multiple running programs fight each other for visible area

[9fans] Bug: Acme: Multiple running programs fight each other for visible area

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1158 bytes --]

Expected behavior

Acme automatically allocates enough space to make the tip of running
commands' output visible.

The allocation must happen deterministically or more predictably, so
that multiple programs do not fight each other for visible area.

Unexpected behavior

Unfortunately, they do fight with each other, especially if there is a
dozen of them.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Run the following in any three distinct directories:

(while () {
sleep 1
fortune
})

Three +Errors windows open in the right column.

Make sure there is at least two windows above them. Expand the first
in the column, so that all windows below it collapse. Now watch three
last windows fighting each other for available space.

If you're still confused, you could watch the demo:

The plan9port-dev mailing list may be a better place for most of your
bug reports. Also, you can create "issues" on github.com/9fans/plan9port.

Thanks, I didn't know it exists. I don't know, though, if I should
duplicate them there. Maybe somebody who's already worked on plan9port
could give me an advice?
