when I open a Lisp file that has lines longer than the visible view

I get the following unwanted effect:

the window gets open fine.

now resize the window, for example make the window longer.

Effect: the text moves slightly (pixels) to the left. This aligns the left most character with the window border. additionally also the horizontal scrollbar is updated. I can readjust the horizontal text position by dragging the

scrollbar to the left.

This happens also if I reduce the width of a window and the scrollbar appears.

I would prefer that on resizing the window, the horizontal position of the text within the window does not change.

Easy to reproduce:

Open a Hemlock window

type a few lines that fit into the visible area of hemlock

now resize the window to make it short, so that part of the lines on the right are no visible and the horizontal scrollbar appears

effect: the view moves slightly so that text now is 'touching' the left window border

This happens with Clozure CL 1.3, just tested on a PowerBook.

I find the bottom of the editor window to be visually unattractive ;-). It displays status text about the buffer, but the status region does not extend all to the right. There is a region on the right side that is reserved for a horizontal scrollbar. The horizontal scrollbar will only be displayed when necessary. If not displayed, then the region looks different from the left part - somehow this confuses me visually.
