Oh, is it maybe emacsen specific?
I have `switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point` set to t, but setting it to `nil` gives the same result. Here's how I can reproduce the problem:
1. Open 'emacs -Q'.
2. Paste the following into the scratch buffer
(progn
(defun test-bug-73446 nil
(let ((buf1 "test1")
(buf2 "test2"))
(switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create buf1))
(insert (make-string 20 ?H))
(goto-char 1)
(switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create buf2))
(let ((switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point t)
start before after)
(display-buffer buf1 'display-buffer-use-some-window)
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer buf1)
(setq start (point))
(goto-char 10)
(setq before (point))
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer buf2) ;; some random buffer
(read-string "Test: "))
(setq after (point)))
(list start before after))))
(message "%S" (test-bug-73446)))
3. Press `C-x c-e` (or call `eval-last-sexp`)
3. Press return when the prompt "Test: " appears.
4. I see the output (1 10 1), instead of (1 10 10) as I would expect.
Best regards,
