bug#55264: A problem with display-buffer-alist

[Konrad Podczeck <konrad.podczeck@univie.ac.at>]

With a fresh build, I have the following problem:

Make an init file just containing the lines:

(setq
 display-buffer-base-action
   '((display-buffer-reuse-window display-buffer-pop-up-frame)
    (reusable-frames . t))
 display-buffer-alist
    '(("[.]"
     (display-buffer-reuse-window display-buffer-pop-up-frame)
       (pop-up-frame-parameters
       (left . 100)
      ))))


Start the app. Open any file, say foo.tex, and do "M-x
context-menu-mode". In the frame showing foo.tex, scroll a bit. Then,
using the mouse, select some text and use the right mouse button to open
the context menu. If I try to choose any item in the context menu, the
app quits unexpectedly. This quitting is not registered as a crash by
the OS.
