Subject: RE: Buffer listing in multiple frames/ttys

Message-ID: <DNEMKBNJBGPAOPIJOOICCEHKCPAA.drew.adams@oracle.com> (raw)

I'm not sure what is meant by a buffer being "selected" in a frame
(displayed?), but when pop-up-frames = t, there is only one buffer
that is displayed in a given frame, by default. If you just open
new buffers (e.g. `C-x 4 f', `C-x d', *Help*, *info*, whatever), by
default they each open in a new frame.
Even with pop-up-frames set to t, `C-x d' and `C-h i' display dired
and *info* in the selected frame (actually, in the selected window).
I meant C-x 4 d. You're right about `C-h i', of course.
What I meant was: open buffers in new frames (in whatever way). I wouldn't
expect those new frames to have multiple-buffer values for frame-parameter
`buffer-list', but they do.
You have other customizations. Just experiment with `emacs -q' and
`pop-up-frames' set to t.
I did. And I just did so again.
emacs -q
M-x set-variable pop-up-frames RET t RET
C-x 4 f <some file>
C-x 4 d <some directory>
C-h f <some function>
Do C-x C-b in each buffer. I get these values for the `buffer-list'
parameter:
- for the file buffer: 1) the file buffer, 2) the minibuffer,
3) the directory buffer
- for the directory buffer: 1) the directory buffer, 2) the minibuffer
- for the *Help* buffer: 1) the *Help* buffer, 2) the minibuffer,
3) the directory buffer
That's with just 3 buffers (+ the minibuffer). It appears that when I do,
for instance, C-x 4 d (or f), the new buffer is also added to the
`buffer-list' of the frame that I executed the command from. IOW, I suspect
that the code is assuming that the new buffer will be "selected" (displayed)
in the same frame, so it gets added to the list.
Also, if I click a buffer name (e.g. *Help*) in buffer *Buffer List*, then
*Buffer List* gets added to the `buffer-list' of the other frame (e.g.
*Help*), even if it already existed.
Again, this is a CVS snapshot from July. If others don't see such behavior,
then perhaps this has been fixed.
