After changing the default font via the options menu, my Emacs frame
exhibits bands of the background colour along the bottom and right
edges. In my case these are 5 pixels wide. Resizing the window removes
these bands, but changing the default font re-introduces them.
Emacs-23.1 does not exhibit this behavior.
I have bisected the revision history and determined that the change
occurred with v1.1048 of emacs/src/xterm.c:
http://osdir.com/ml/emacs-diffs-gnu/2009-10/msg00381.html
To be precise, reverting the changes to pixelheight and pixelwidth at
the beginning of the "@@ -8833,16 +8884,24 @@" blob in
x_set_widnow_size_1 cause these bands to disappear.
The definitions of FRAME_TEXT_LINES_TO_PIXEL_HEIGHT and
FRAME_TEXT_COLS_TO_PIXEL_WIDTH already account for the frame's internal
border, so adding them in again seems superfluous.
I note that when the gtk toolkit is in use, the x_set_window_size_1
function isn't ordinarily called, so most folks won't have seen this
behavior.
Thanks,
