bug#781: 23.0.60; C-x C-f after C-x 4 b doesn't work (perhaps ido-mode related)

[Christian Engels]

Perhaps this is only ido-mode related, i don't really now but here the bug 
report.
If you type C-x b you get a list of buffer and if your buffer you searched for 
is not there, you can type right here C-x C-f to get the find-file dialog.

Now do this with C-x 4 b. If you now try C-x C-f you get to the find-file 
dialog, but if you now enter one it doesn't open it in a new window but in 
the old one. I think this is a very unlogic behaviour.

I must be missing something: C-x C-f always opens the file in the
current (i.e. old) window, doesn't it?

If ido is active, C-x 4 b runs ido-switch-buffer-other-window.

This calls ido-buffer-internal with method = 'other-window.

If you call C-x C-f from inside this, ido-file-internal gets called.

But it gets called with method = ido-default-file-method rather than
'other-window (though other-window is an option). The OP would prefer
the latter.

Using plain `method' instead of `ido-default-file-method' works in this
particular case (we'd also have to cater for the 'other-frame case).
But I'm not sure about the argument for the fallback method.  Kim?

There is a similar problem for C-x 4 C-f C-x C-b,
and C-x 5 ...

Does the following patch fix the problem for you?

Hello.
Ok i am not really sure if it did the patching right, so perhaps somebody 
should verify this. But if i try to C-x 4 b and C-x C-f after that i get 
a "Command attempted to use minibuffer while in minibuffer". The same for C-x 
4 b C-x 4 f.

Greetings

Yes, the proposed fix only works with enable-recursive-minibuffers .
I have just checked in a better fix.

So can someone pls. close this...
