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. - -- David Kågedal _______________________________________________ bug-gnu-emacs mailing list bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnu-emacs ------- End of forwarded message -------
