Subject: display-buffer change
I have seen a change in Emacs 22.1 from Emacs 21 that broke my use of
dedicated windows.
The problem is that (display-buffer buf) will change the contents of
the current window, if the other window in the frame has a dedicated
buffer. In Emacs 21, a new window would be opened instead.
To see the difference, do the following:
Split an emacs frame in two windows showing buffers A and B:
+-------------+
| |
| A |
| |
+-------------+
| |
| B |
| |
+-------------+
While in the lower window, run
(set-window-dedicated-p (selected-window) t)
Now, in the upper window, run
(display-buffer "C")
In Emacs 21, this will be the result:
+-------------+
| A |
+-------------+
| C |
+-------------+
| |
| B |
| |
+-------------+
In Emacs 22, this will be the result:
+-------------+
| |
| C |
| |
+-------------+
| |
| B |
| |
+-------------+
I use a dedicated small window at the bottom of my frame that always
contains the *compilation* buffer, and the new behaviour in Emacs 22
seriously lower the usability of a lots of command, such as viewing
diffs or showing source from gdb etc.
I didn't find anything in NEWS that indicated that this was somehow
intentional.

I've tried to contact the author but he didn't respond.

I don't know when and why the change was made but it implements
the behavior documented as for Emacs 21 and 22. The user can
change the behavior by customizing split-height-threshold.
