Bug: appt-display makes point back to buffer.

Bug: appt-display makes point back to buffer.

[anhnmncb]

When point is in minibuffer, a pop-up of appointment window will make
point back to the buffer. I have to use C-x o to switch back to it.

GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2008-11-18 on mybox.

Could you please make a bug report with a precise recipe to reproduce
this with emacs -Q?

Thanks in advance, martin.

yes, here we go:

emacs -Q

eval (appt-activate 1) in *scratch* buffer.

Use M-x appt-add to add a time to appt. Then C-x C-f to enter the
minibuf area, waits for the appt activates.

When activates, the point moves from minibuf to buffer(maybe call
window?). Now I have to C-x o to enter the minibuf.

I suppose the attached patch should fix this.  But it might break
something else.  Glenn?

Thank you too, but I don't know how to install it, so I will wait for
the offical beta version :)

Done.

BTW, could we get rid of the warnings below?

martin


In appt-display-message:
appt.el:232:21:Warning: `appt-msg-window' is an obsolete variable (as of Emacs
     22.1); use `appt-display-format' instead.
appt.el:233:21:Warning: `appt-visible' is an obsolete variable (as of Emacs
     22.1); use `appt-display-format' instead.

In appt-check:
appt.el:356:20:Warning: `appt-issue-message' is an obsolete variable (as of
     Emacs 22.1); use the function `appt-activate', and the variable
     `appt-display-format' instead.

I don't think so, and since they don't happen when bootstrapping, I
don't care much. :)

BTW, I overlooked the set-buffer part of your change till now.
At first sight, there is no longer any change of buffer in the
unsplittable case?

At second sight neither.  I hopefully fixed that now.

Thanks, martin.
