Subject: bug#12380: other window related commands broken
Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2012 11:58:26 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <504A43D2.1010307@sprynet.com> (raw)
emac version: 24.2.1
cygwin
Vista
Edit a file
C-x 2
(OK, now you have a two windows split horizontally)
C-x C-b
One of the windows **splits vertically**(!!) to show the buffer menu.
Older versions of emacs (I don't know how far back you have to go) use
the "other" window of the two horizontally split window to display the
menu. The old way is by far the better way. The same thing happens
with C-x 4 C-f and I think other C-x 4 commands. All make for annoying
work cleaning up your windows after the unwanted vertical splits happen.
