Subject: bug#16767: 24.3.50; `C-x 5 b' for special-display buffers
Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2014 14:29:17 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bea449d4-8071-475c-af70-38146574590a@default> (raw)
emacs -Q
In *scratch* evaluate:
(setq special-display-regexps '("[ ]?[*][^*]+[*]"))
C-x 5 b *scratch*
A new frame should be created, showing *scratch*. None is.
Without making *scratch* special-display-p, *scratch* is shown,
correctly, in a separate frame.
Similarly, (pop-to-buffer "*scratch*" t) does not pop to *scratch*
in another window. (display-buffer-other-frame "*scratch*"),
likewise, does not display the buffer in another frame.
If the buffer is not special-display-p then another new
frame/window is used, as it should be. If it is
special-display-p then this should still be the case, but the
action instead becomes a no-op.
Special-display-p implies that the window is dedicated to the
buffer. It does not imply that the buffer is somehow "dedicated"
to the window (such a notion does not exist). A special-display
buffer should be shown in another frame/window when other-frame
is called for.
