Package: emacs Severity: minor Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: rudalics@gmx.at In some circumstances, next-buffer and previous-buffer do not have any buffer to switch to, and in that case they silently do nothing. (Strictly speaking, they call switch-to-(next|prev)-buffer, which do nothing and return nil). I think they should throw a user-error, to inform the user about the situation.
