Subject: 31.0.50; ERC 5.6.1-git: scrolltobottom-mode broken on certain
 global text scaling
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2025 10:24:12 +0300

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Minimal configuration:
(use-package erc
  :config
  (setopt erc-modules '(scrolltobottom))
  (erc-scrolltobottom-mode))

1. Use above config to ensure scrolltobottom module is loaded
2. Start erc with a connection to libera (M-x erc-tls)
3. C-x 1 on the erc buffer window to make it the sole window
4. Once the Libera buffer is loaded, this should be a sufficient number
of lines to trigger scroll to bottom.
5. On some resolutions or window size this may be enough to see that the
input line (ERC>) is not at the bottom of the window, but in the
middle. If not, proceed to step 6.
6. Invoke (global-text-scale-adjust) using C-x C-M-= and continue to
press the "=" key until you can notice that the input line jumps to the
center of the window.

Attached, find a video of the issue.

Aren't you supposed to set erc-input-line-position to -1 if you want
the prompt to always be at the last line?

Does not seem to make a difference for me and also in the
`erc-scroll-to-bottom' procedure of erc-goodies.el it seems to already
do that by default with `(or erc-input-line-position -1)', right?

Does configuring `erc-scrolltobottom-all' to t help any? (Note that you
must do so before connecting or else cycle the module's minor mode.)

That DOES work! Uncovering the mysteries of erc...

We can close this now. Thanks, J.P!
