Subject: location of "*Backtrace*" buffer

Message-ID: <1987007.XQL3Vf2P3Y@toomas> (raw)

Hello!

I have an Emacs session running for about three weeks now.  A couple of days ago, a strange phenomenon started to occur: each time I do something which invokes the debugger (e.g., do a `yank-pop' without a preceding `yank'), the backtrace buffer appears always in one and the same frame (instead of in the frame from which I issued the offending command), which is especially annoying when I happen to work in another frame, on another desktop (which in fact means almost always).  (I'm working under KDE.)  What could be the matter?  Is there a way to get the normal behaviour back without exiting Emacs and without closing the frame in which the backtrace buffer now always appears?

I have `display-buffer-reuse-frames' set to `t', but resetting it to `nil' has no effect in this respect.  I also tried playing with `debugger-bury-or-kill' (from debug.el), with no luck.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance,
T.
