bug#22332: 25.0.50; woman moves point in a wrong buffer

[Ari Roponen]

In emacs -Q, evaling the following two times:

  (woman "emacs")

moves the point to the beginning of buffer.

This bug seems to be caused by commit (emacs-25 branch):
244a00860b6fe1d6acf92948c5c0d1ef0f8426fa
in response to bug#21047: Make M-x woman respect display-buffer-alist.

After the commit, `WoMan-find-buffer' doesn't switch the buffer as
promised in its documentation string:
  "Switch to buffer corresponding to `woman-buffer-number' and return it.",
causing `Man-build-section-alist' (called by `woman-find-file') to
move point in a wrong buffer.

Thanks for the investgatory work.  I was too careless.

Kaushal: Can you fix these please?  It should be easy.

Thanks, martin

Hi Martin, Ari,

I should have read the documentation of WoMan-find-buffer before sending
that earlier patch.

Here's a patch to fix that.
- The display-buffer is still retained in WoMan-find-buffer so that the
display-buffer-alist rules can apply. But after that the switch-to-buffer
calls are added so that (1) the point switches to the WoMan buffer, and (2)
WoMan-find-buffer returns the buffer name (instead of the window name,
which display-buffer returns).


Ari: Please let us know if the patch fixes the bug for you. I have verified
it to fix it for me locally.
Martin: Can you please commit this patch once it is verified by Ari and you?

Thanks.

What would that ‘switch-to-buffer’ be good for?  In the worst case it
might display the buffer a second time in another window.

Just return ‘buffer’ after the ‘display-buffer’ calls and you're done.

Hi Martin,

I first tried doing that. But that still did not solve this bug (#22332).

Not selecting the WoMan buffer explicitly creates this problem starting
from these lines in the woman-find-file function:

  (Man-build-section-alist) ; starting from here
  (Man-build-references-alist)
  (goto-char (point-min)))

That's because Man-build-section-alist does (goto-char (point-min)) in
which ever the selected buffer is.
display-buffer does not select the buffer.. so that explicit
switch-to-buffer call had to be put there.

In my opinion, if we do not want to do switch-to-buffer calls in
WoMan-find-buffer, a more elegant way would be to wrap the below lines in
woman-find-file

  (Man-build-section-alist) ; starting from here
  (Man-build-references-alist)
  (goto-char (point-min)))

with a (with-current-buffer WOMAN-BUFFER ..) form.

WDYT?

Perhaps calls to display-buffer can be replaced with calls to
pop-to-buffer in defun WoMan-find-buffer?

Then we probably have to explicitly select the window as in

	(if buffer
	    (let ((window (display-buffer buffer)))
	      (when (window-live-p window)
		(select-window window)
		buffer))

We have to fix ‘WoMan-find-buffer’ because it's used elsewhere too.

I don't think so.  By default the buffer should be displayed in the
selected window and ‘pop-to-buffer’ is supposed to "Select buffer BUFFER
in some window, preferably a different one."

Subject: [PATCH] Ensure point manipulation only in WoMan buf

- WoMan-find-buffer definition is changed; now it only returns the WoMan
  buffer, does not switch to it. Bug fix: return the WoMan buffer name
  instead of the window name.
- woman-find-file is fixed (bug # 22332) so that now the point
  manipulation happens only in the WoMan buffer.

This might fix the call from ‘woman-find-file’.  But ‘WoMan-find-buffer’
is also called from ‘WoMan-previous-manpage’ and ‘WoMan-next-manpage’.
How can we be sure that ‘display-buffer’ does not display the previous
or next WoMan buffer in another window?  And if it does so, we have the
problem that that other window does not get selected.

Can you please try this updated patch? This time, I hope to have it tested
all the woman buffer switching activities.

PS: The patch also resulted in many indentation changes. Looks like the
default lisp-indent-function is changed since the last major edits to
woman.el (because I did C-x h C-M-\ at the end committing my edits). Please
advise how to remove just the indentation changes.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix-22332: woman.el display/switch-to-buffer behav

- This is a continuation of the fix in commit
  244a00860b6fe1d6acf92948c5c0d1ef0f8426fa
- This also fixes debbugs 22332; now executing `woman` does not
  manipulate the point in a non-*WoMan* buffer.
- WoMan-find-buffer definition is changed; now it returns the WoMan
  buffer but does not switch to it by default. We directly switch to the
  WoMan buffer only if `WoMan-find-buffer` is given a non-nil argument.
- WoMan-previous-manpage and WoMan-next-manpage now do not result in new
  window pops. We now switch to prev/next manpage in the same window.

I used this little snippet (saved to test.el) and then running "emacs -Q

and then it is self explanatory how I would have used the test.el.

bug#22332: 25.0.50; woman moves point in a wrong buffer

[martin rudalics]

 > all the woman buffer switching activities.

I don't use woman so please someone else should try it.  But I think
that the change is too substantial to be applied to Emacs-25.  Please
try to come up with a minimal solution to fix the bug reported here.  We
can then apply your proposed behavior to master.

 > PS: The patch also resulted in many indentation changes. Looks like the

This is generally a bad idea.  Never do that.  It makes patches very
hard to read.  As a rule, always try to make patches as short as
possible so the reader gets the idea of the patch as fast as possible.
Formatting changes only obscure the idea transported by the patch.

 > Please
 > advise how to remove just the indentation changes.

Either edit the file manually via diff/ediff or use the -b or -w
switches when preparing the diff.

Unfortunately, the patch doesn't apply, because of some line wrapping.

Recently, eww replaced display-buffer with pop-to-buffer-same-window
(commit 6191003fcd2bc65f2b18d5337f6f390d43f07173). Perhaps we could do
the same in the emacs-25 branch? Patch below.

Hi Ari,

I tried your patch (using the pop-to-buffer-same-window) and it looks good
to me. I vote for that to be committed.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Ari's patch is stable. It would be great if this bug fix can go into the
next release while we are still in pretest2 phase.
I do not have commit rights.

This looks reasonable; Lars, since you're the EWW guy, what do you say?  If
you like it, can you apply and commit?
