Subject: bug#38219: Error on leaving Ediff after killing vital buffer
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2019 13:50:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPM58ojXQnHWQ2DZ2405C_iZd4JdnEM20R3VB=cKrp_-cd75Cg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 692 bytes --]

If you kill one of Ediff's vital buffers, then try to leave Ediff (by
typing q in the control window), there is an error.

The error is:
ediff-visible-region: You have killed a vital Ediff buffer---you must leave
Ediff now!

Recipe from 'emacs -Q' (Windows GUI build):

* Visit a file under version control with unstaged changes.
* [M-x ediff-revision RET RET RET RET]
* In the main frame, kill one of the buffers being diffed
* In the Ediff control window frame, type [q y]

'y-or-n-p' now uses the minibuffer to read 'y' or 'n' answer (bug#38076)
