Regarding this item in etc/NEWS:
*** Operations like C-x b and C-x C-f, which use switch-to-buffer, do
not fail any more when used in a minibuffer or a dedicated window.
Instead, they fallback on using pop-to-buffer, which will use some
other window.
What does this mean? Naively, it seems to be saying that
C-x C-f C-x C-f will do something new, but it instead gives the same
error as previous versions of Emacs ("attempted to use minibuffer while
minibuffer is active"). So what's this about?
The blurb should probably read:
*** (Given enable-recursive-minibuffers non-nil) Operations like
C-x b and C-x C-f, which use switch-to-buffer, do not fail any more
when used in a minibuffer or a dedicated window. Instead, they
fallback on using pop-to-buffer, which will use some other window.
or similar.
