Subject: Consider turning on preserving window point
Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 14:58:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160519185838.GA16418@holos.localdomain> (raw)
Hi,
This is an old bug for changes done in 23 that broke the behaviour of
keeping window point the same in buffers.
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=4041
It had been suggested to be enabled in subsequent releases, but this
never happened. AFAICT there has been virtually no mention on this list
of switch-to-buffer-preserve-window-point, and no bugs regarding it
since then. It appears to have been mentioned in Bug#16692.
In both bugs it appears apparent the desire is to make editing the same
buffer in multiple windows more useful.
Mark
