Attached find a patch that should guarantee that only minibuffers are recorded in a minibuffer window's list of previous buffers. A ChangeLog appears below. If there are no objections, I'll install this on master in two weeks. martin For minibuffer windows record minibuffers only (Bug#72487) * src/minibuf.c (zip_minibuffer_stacks): Use wset type functions. Call 'record-window-buffer' instead of 'push-window-buffer-onto-prev' to handle all sorts of buffers shown in minibuffer windows in a uniform way. (read_minibuf): Call 'record-window-buffer' instead of 'push-window-buffer-onto-prev' for same reason as previous. * lisp/calculator.el (calculator-update-display) (calculator-save-and-quit): Make sure calculator buffer is live before operating on it. * lisp/window.el (record-window-buffer): Handle case where WINDOW is a minibuffer window: Unconditionally remove WINDOW's buffer from WINDOW's list of previous buffers and push it if and only if it is a live minibuffer (Bug#72487). Do not run 'buffer-list-update-hook' if WINDOW is a minibuffer window. (push-window-buffer-onto-prev): Make it an alias of 'record-window-buffer' so it will run the latter's checks. (replace-buffer-in-windows): Handle minibuffer windows and rewrite doc-string accordingly. * doc/lispref/windows.texi (Buffers and Windows): Explain handling of minibuffer windows in 'replace-buffer-in-windows'.
