curious -- i use the emacs front end extensively and haven't run into
this problem at all.  on the other hand, i don't move the window around
very often, and have made one patch (see below) to get it to use screen
widths for fonts.  what font/size do you use?
------------------------------------------------------------
to patch Emacs to use screen font widths, add these lines:

	/* NXTextFontInfo appears to be broken for screen fonts,
	   so wait until now to get it */
	
    	{	Font *screenfont = [displayFont screenFont];
    		if (screenfont) displayFont = screenfont;
	}

between the call to NXTextFontInfo & the assignment to 'leading' in
EtermView.m
