Expected behavior
Acme automatically allocates enough space to make the tip of running
commands' output visible.
The allocation must happen deterministically or more predictably, so
that multiple programs do not fight each other for visible area.
Unexpected behavior
Unfortunately, they do fight with each other, especially if there is a
dozen of them.
Steps to reproduce the problem
Run the following in any three distinct directories:
(while () {
sleep 1
fortune
})
Three +Errors windows open in the right column.
Make sure there is at least two windows above them. Expand the first
in the column, so that all windows below it collapse. Now watch three
last windows fighting each other for available space.
