List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-devel-bounces+ged-emacs-devel=m.gmane.org@gnu.org Original-Sender: "Emacs-devel" Xref: news.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:203890 Archived-At: 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
