Hi,
I am wondering if the following behavior is a bug or a feature:
1) open an Emacs buffer
2) Split the buffer via C-x 2
3) Change to dired mode via C-x d; now you have two buffers on top of each
other, one in dired mode
4) use 'c' in the buffer in dired mode to get a shell; instead of two buffers on
top of each other (one of which is a shell), the buffer-split is removed and the
shell is displayed as a single buffer in the frame.
(this is on Emacs 24, Ubuntu 12.04).
Cheers,
Marius

'c' seems to be undefined in dired buffer by default (GNU Emacs 24.1.1
on Cygwin).
What does 'C-h k c' output in your dired buffer?

Dear Filipp,
It returns:
,----
| c runs the command shell-instead-dired, which is an interactive Lisp function in
| `.emacs'.
|
| It is bound to c.
|
| (shell-instead-dired)
|
| Not documented.
|
| [back]
`----
Cheers,
Marius

Please do not top-post.
The output shows that 'shell-instead-dired' is your custom function
defined in .emacs. Is it the function from here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8052946/emacs-dired-mode-how-to-exit-and-end-up-in-a-shell-in-the-current-directory
? If yes then you need to delete (delete-other-windows) call.

I'd say it's a feature of extra software you are using.
When I invoke GNU Emacs with -Q, i.e., with no customisation at all, then dired-mode does not know 'c'. So what you see is a feature or bug in the extra software you are using.

Dear Filipp,
very, very good, that was precisely the issue!
Many thanks for helping.
Cheers,
Marius
