Subject: xref buffer and default-directory
Date: Fri, 08 Jan 2021 18:15:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <877don4afp.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi, I am a heavy and happy user of project-find-regexp (through
C-x p g).
Sometime while reading search results from the *xref* buffer I
realize that I should perform another search; I thus press C-x p g
again from the *xref* buffer. But it looks like the local value of
default-directory isn't related to the last search context. And I
am presented search results of an unrelated project. It's
confusing and sometimes I take time to realize that am not reading
the search results of the right project! Are you experiencing the
same problem?
It looks like the value of default-directory for the *xref* buffer
is not changed between searches. Is this correct? Should we change
this behavior?
