bug#18001: default behavior changes

[Joel F Rodriguez]

LOL, it made little sense to me why things were different.

But I found my cure, using the -nw option.

Sorry for the disturbance.

I'm afraid your report makes little sense to me.

What version of Emacs is this? (The latest is 24.3.) Are you running it in a
text-terminal, or in graphical mode?

Either way, I don't understand.

In a text-terminal, Emacs uses whatever the terminal width is.
It is as far as I know impossible for it to somehow be "less wide" than the
terminal.

In graphical mode, you can make the width whatever you like by resizing it
in the usual way.
