Hi!

I use window splitting, and with those split-bars I have a problem (up 
to ver. 21.4.13):

When I split the window (as layout A), the bar between the two resulting 
area seems to calculate a percentage. When the progress bar appears (or, 
the app window size changes, =both GUI events), the bars are 
re-positioned according to percentage (as layout B) BUT then the 
percentage is seemingly re-calculated - when the progress bar disappears 
again, the resulting re-re-positioning of the split bars (layout A') is 
different from the original layout (layout A). Thus, if I load many 
files (and the progress bar of font-lock mode appears/disappears) the 
split-bars move around, and when some window gets too small that window 
disappears.

A better way would be to have a split-bar calculate its positional 
percentage only on creation (=splitting a window) or repositioning by 
mouse/key event, but keep it on GUI resize events.
