I have no experience with getting the screenshot.
But, from the kind reply of Bob McLure, Jr.,
I realized that a similar behavior can be
triggered by revising /usr/local/share/afterstep/pager.
If the vertical location line +27 is revised by +26, you will
see what I meant.
In my other computer which showed the misbehavior
with the default +27, changing it to +29 solved the
problem, In Bob BcLure's case, my guess is
that +30 solved his problem because he suggested +30
in his reply..
In both cases, with +29 and with +30, I can observe a shallow split
with the task bar and the pager. That seems to indicate that +27
is actually the correct value. .

I am very sorry. You should write about it in www.afterstep.org
But I sincerely hoped that we can find some more female computer girus
for the futue of society.

In the new revision, please get rid of the default behavior of C-v. It
bothers me so much
in emacs editiing. I could not figure out how to disable the default
behavior.
As someone already talked about it, it should be the thing that each
application should
decide, not the window manager.

You may check it out by opening up
emacs /usr/local/share/afterstep/pager
and type "Control-v" to proceed to the next page.
In the old AfterStep-1.x days, I could simply choose the ICCCM feel which
disabled this C-v behavior. Now, it is gone. I cannot find any feel.
in AfterStep-2.0-beta3 beside the Default one.
Yes. I played with it without any success.
