This is bad. > As I told you a few days ago, this is not a new Emacs behavior, it dates back to at least Emacs 24 (and probably earlier, I did not check). IMO this behavior is not problematic: the minibuffer has moved to F2, but when you press RET after choosing the buffer you want, the buffer switch happens in F1, where it should happen. And on a TTY, Emacs even goes back to F1.
