- Actually, in the case of horizontally split windows [which is what the
- original post asked about], a seperate variable,
- truncate-partial-width-windows, controls the behavior:
-
- truncate-lines's value is nil
-
- Documentation:
- [...]
- Note that this is overridden by the variable
- truncate-partial-width-windows if that variable is non-nil
- and this buffer is not full-screen width.
