I don't know why you did that, because it seems contradictory, I suspect it was an oversight. Regarding the focus itself (which is a subtly different concept than the selected frame), the situation is very messy and what happens in which case can also depend on your window-manager (or the part of your OS which takes on that responsibility) as well as timing. 🙁 > (setq server-window 'ofv-display-buffer-pop-up-frame) I recommend #' here to clarify that this is intended to set the var to a function.
