I've closed this bug, because Debian no longer supports XEmacs
21.4.16 and earlier versions.

This bug doesn't appear with emacs-w3m 1.4.233 (today's CVS
version) on Emacs 22.1, but the problem is reproducible with

  emacs-w3m 1.4.4 on Emacs 22.1
  emacs-w3m 1.4.233 on Emacs 21.4
  emacs-w3m 1.4.4 on Emacs 21.4

To reproduce,
  $ emacs -q
    run Emacs on window-system: x
  `M-x w3m RET'
    run emacs-w3m
  `U http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/ RET'
  `C-x 2'
    cursor is in the higher window
  `TAB RET'
    Go to [English/Japanese] page, and then see heights of the windows
  `C-l' resizes the windows correctly

I'll close this bug if no one reproduce the problem.

I set the severity of this bug to `wishlist'.

The severity of this bug is `wishlist' and will be closed if
w3m-use-cookies is set to t by default.
