I meant small window of course.

Comment 2 Jan Synacek 2016-05-02 10:25:13 UTC
To reproduce this, it is enough to run 'emacs <file>' from the command line. The file *is* open, but you have to switch to its buffer because, for some reason, the splash screen stays as the current buffer. You can work around this by running emacs with '--no-splash' or adding '(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)' to your init file.

Note that the window size has nothing to do with this bug.

And, of course, the window size is exactly what makes this bug appear... Anyway, the symptoms will be fixed in bug#1332451. The real problem, which is emacs trying to split the window, even though it is too small, and which I have attempted to describe in the upstream report, is a cosmetic issue and I'll leave that to upstream developers to decide if they want to fix it.
