org-cycle hook recenter question

org-cycle hook recenter question

[Arun Persaud]

Hi

when I cycle using <shift>-TAB and I go from all->content, that is just
the headlines, I often don't see the top headlines in the buffer,
although there would be enough space to show them. The top is truncated
and a "..." is shown and I need to do a ctrl-l or scroll upward to see
everything.

I was wondering if it would be possible to automatically recenter when
the cycle goes from all->content?

I tried to change the org-cycle-hook to include a line like:

 ((eq state 'content)  (recenter 1))

and I also tried to add a (recenter-top-bottom) in org.el where
org-cycle-global-status is being set to 'contents. But couldn't get it
to work... what's the correct place to do this and is there a reason not
to recenter by default during this cycle operation?

NB: in org-cycle-hook state is tested for 'content, should it be
'contents? org-cycle-hook and org-pre-cycle-hook list both content and
contents and both show up in org.el, but org-cycle-global-state seems to
be only set to 'contents

This is the infamous "meaningless ellipses at the top of the buffer" problem.

If you can provide a way to reproduce using emacs -Q, it would really help.

I can reproduce this with "emacs -Q tmp.org". Where tmp.org is one of my
org files where I removed the headers (#+...), so it's just a bunch of
headlines and sublevels, starting with a toplevel headline in the first
line.

I'm running:

C-h C-a

GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.4)
 of 2012-10-10 on build20

org-version 7.8.11

I also have the latest git-version installed, but am not sure how to use
that with -Q?

Let me know if I should try anything else.

It would really help the devs if you could attach this tmp.org file
(after removing any private information of course).

... plus the steps necessary to get to the problematic point (I assume
there is no problem just after the file is visited, correct?)

PS. I didn't go back in the thread to see whether those steps have been
    described already. If they have, please accept my apologies.

attached is the tmp.org file... I  scrambled the text (apart from
org-key words, etc), and it still shows the problem when I use it with
emacs -Q over here.

Steps to reproduce:

emacs -Q tmp.org
move point to a lower heading, e.g. the "a" in "3a30" (5th line from the
bottom)
cycle with <shift>-TAB (I need to hit shift-tab 4 times to see the "..."
at the top)

Yes, that is reproducible.

Thanks for fixing it! Just tested the latest git and the problem is gone.

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, the bug is still there for the isearch case.  Can't
make an ECM now.

Greatly appreciated!  I have been trying to fix that for years.

Will test.
