Do not know why this occurs. I suggest you to recustomize your layout-sizes
with `ecb-store-window-sizes'.

Yes, i see. This is a bug in ECB 1.92 which will be fixed in the forthcoming
bug-release 1.92.1. Probably i will offer a patched file ecb.el for download
at the ECB website.

I saw in your bug-report that the values of c++-mode-hook and c-mode-hook are
not correct, means the necessary `semantic-default-c-setup' is not contained.
I suppose you have somehow accidently destroyed these correct hook settings.
Maybe you use setq instead of add-hook?! Please read the related section in
the online manual "Setting up Emacs".

This should not be if `ecb-window-sync' is not nil (which is in your
settings). So maybe this is a bug somehow related to point 3). I suggest first
fixing 3) so the ECB-method buffer works correct. Check for this where you set
`c++-mode-hook' and `c-mode-hook'!

To demonstrate that ECB works correct please do:
1. Start Emacs with "emacs -q -no-site-file"
2. Add the directories of semantic, eieio and ecb to your load-path
3. M-x load-library RET ecb RET
4. M-x ecb-activate
5. Add a path to `ecb-source-path'.
6. Check if all is working.

This scenario starts up a fresh Emacs and ECB and checks if ECB works correct
in principle and some of your settings are responsible for the problems.

Hope this helps,
Klaus
