1. emacs -Q (or -q) 2. C-x 2 3. Put the mouse pointer over the upper mode line, click mouse-1 and drag the mouse up or down, thereby raising or lowering the upper mode line, then release mouse-1. 4. Put the mouse pointer over the lower mode line, click mouse-1 and drag the mouse down: nothing happens. This is as I expect. 5. Put the mouse pointer over the lower mode line, click mouse-1 and drag the mouse up: the *upper* mode line moves down or up until the vertically centered position (after step 2) is restored. This surprised me.
I never noticed the behavior in (5) until just now, but it's been there for some time (it's there in an Emacs 22 binary I still have from last November, earlier ones I don't have any more), but it's not in Emacs 21.3 (i.e., there dragging the lower mode line of an unequally vertically split window does not move the upper mode line). If it's a feature it is undocumented (at least I couldn't find any mention of it; if I've overlooked its documentation, sorry for the noise).
