When I increase the default font size (say, from Menlo 12 to 14), either by Options->Set Default Font or by (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 140), the top of the buffer becomes hidden. The visible part of the buffer starts a few lines down (depending on font size) and the actual top is hidden above the top of the window. I can move the cursor up to the top of the buffer, but it disappears above the window. M-x beginning-of-buffer doesn't help. If I lower the font size, it becomes visible again.

  • Sounds like a bug. If you can reproduce it when you start Emacs from emacs -Q (no init file) then consider filing a bug report: M-x report-emacs-bug, providing a step-by-step recipe. – Drew Oct 7 '15 at 22:18
  • Thanks, Drew, I'll do that. It is easily reproducible (even though I did find a workaround -- see, below). – Phil Mitchell Oct 7 '15 at 22:23
  • Turns out it's a known bug: debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21016#5 – Phil Mitchell Oct 7 '15 at 22:29

Turns out this was due to a conflict with setting frame size:

(setq default-frame-alist '(
               (width . 150)
               (height . 52) ))
