Subject: bug#20943: 25.0.50; Dired buffers are not always auto-reverterd
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2015 13:23:01 +0600 [thread overview]

OK, I've spent an hour testing it, trying to find some way to reliably
reproduce the problem. It's quite random, but I've found a way to
reproduce it in about 50% of cases.

No, I can reproduce this in my home directory, which is not mounted in
any unusual way.

By changes I mean deletion of files or creation of files, see below.
How to reproduce:
1. emacs -Q
2. Open some directory in Dired.
3. Invoke shell or Emacs shell. Now I think this bug is most likely
happens when directory is changed in an automated way (maybe I'm
mistaken). Personally I use a script that transforms some files
(script written in Python, splits music files according to CUE file +
some magic, but it doesn't really matter). That means that some files
are created and old files are deleted.
4. Once I press C-m or Enter, there are two possible cases (each having
about 50 % probability): either all changes are reflected in Dired
buffer (that's in other window, window in Emacs sense of the word),
or all the changes go invisible and I have to switch to Dired buffer
and press g to see results.
That's pretty much all I can say. Not very helpful, but this is how I
can more or less reliably reproduce it.

I'll test it as soon as I can.
