Subject: Why does Emacs make it difficult for me to have two frames open the same buffer?
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:04:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2FB6A872-A97F-4FA7-87F9-E7FCFE95DFF1@gmail.com> (raw)

I have 2 frames. I switch the buffer in first frame to buffer A. When I try to switch the buffer in the second frame to buffer A, Emacs brings the first frame forward. What I want is to open buffer A in both frames. Is there a setting that makes Emacs bring the other frame forward when buffer A is already opened in it?
