RE: not too happy with Emacs 21 vertical-line dragging when scrollbars present

[Drew Adams]

We haven't spoken of implementation difficulty until now. What you say makes
sense to me. I'll be happy if the possibility is at least considered at
sometime in the future. - Drew

The current display engine need to position windows on a multiple of
the frame default column width, so it is not trivial to introduce a
'thin line all the way up'.

It is on my plan for 'after next release' to get rid of this restriction.

Once that is done, adding a thin line will be easier, so I don't want
to spend time now on a halfbaked solution.  At least, 21.4 will not be
any worse than 21.3.
