I recently asked a question on this list and the solution was to set (setq-default display-buffer-reuse-frames t) so that 'next-error would not popup a new window (when the window was already open in a new frame). That worked great! I've recently been extending my use of basic emacs commands to include the commands under `C-x 5 ...` (i.e. the "do in the other frame" commands) However, when I type `C-x 5 b` and select a buffer name, I am expecting the buffer to be shown in the other frame. But instead, the buffer is opened in a new frame. It would appear that setting 'display-buffer-reuse-frames is not enough to force re-use of existing frames and this function is popping up a new one. Is there something else I must do to re-use frames? I note that display-buffer-reuse-frames is deprecated, but I'm not entirely sure how to migrate to the new world. Best regards, Sam
