bug#55167: 29.0.50; M-x gnus after gnus-group-suspend causes "Selecting deleted buffer"

[david.edmondson]

Start gnus with M-x gnus. Read some news (well, mail). Suspend gnus with
'z'. Decide to read some more with M-x gnus. Get:

My gnus configuration is a single IMAP server in
gnus-select-method. gnus-secondary-select-methods is nil.

Quitting gnus and restarting gets things working, as does entering and
quitting the server buffer.

I'm unable to reproduce this -- I use `z' regularly, so I guess there's
something in your config that's triggering this.  What's the buffer it's
trying to select?

I will try to reduce the config and reproduce.

Some of the server buffers weren't killed off by `z', and I've fixed
that now in Emacs 29.  I'm not sure it would affect what you're seeing,
but it's possible -- can you try to update and see whether it helped?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
