New in Gnus v5.8.3 - display problems

[Dmitry Yaitskov]

Hi,

Using XEmacs 21.2.b26, I have the following problem which appeared in
5.8.3 (worked fine in 5.8.2): If the summary buffer is shown
full-screen, pressing enter to read a message in it results in cursor
losing its place in the summary(positioning over another unrelated
message) after the screen is split into two to show the message text.

Going back to last millenium version... :)

Yeps, I have the same problem. This have resulted in me answering a
number of mails incorrectly. Rather annoying at times. :-/

I always find this problem happen when it is the last article in the
summary buffer (the number of articles shown in buffer is larger than
the height of summary window).

Besides this, I also find another weird display problem. When enter
the last group shown in the group window, then read all articles and
exit the summary buffer, the cursor is not on the next unread group.

Both problems only happen recently in XEmacs. Since b26 was also
released in this millennium, I am wondering whether this is a bug in
XEmacs 21.2.b26 and whether 5.8.2 really works fine in
b26. set-window-start is a suspicious function.

Did anyone test these problems in other version of XEmacs?

Well, I get the original problem with xemacs 21.1 so that one is
atleast not related to the above betaversion.
