Scroll bar size marker on w32

2005-08-09 Thread Lennart Borgman
I just noticed that the scroll bar size marker (the thing that moves on the scroll bar) changes it size as you scroll a buffer in Emacs on w32. I have not seen this in any other program on w32 and it seems to me to be against the expected behaviour. Is this something that is w32 specific? To

Inconsistency in the result from substitute-command-keys

Accelerator keys for menus

Are accelerator keys for menus available on GNU/Linux? On w32 if you put a single before a letter in the menu text the next letter will be underlined and it works as an accelerator. Then you only have to type that letter to choose that alternative once the menu is active. It is quite useful
