Then if I click on the same line again, it will jump to the correct line. But without me doing anything, the window begins switching between the two positions (it may be the same file, or two different files), about once a second. I can sit there and watch or hit C-g, but it keeps switching. Only a kill buffer gets me out of it. Jan D.
