Does this also happen when you're using an Emacs without all = customisation applied, i.e., when launched with -Q? If this happens in that setup as well then some bug is likely and you = should report it. Help menu -> Send Bug Report... And a good description = how to reproduce it. If this does not happen without customisation, then it's likely that = some of your (and your system's) customisation is the culprit. I can't remember having encountered this effect. But this can be de to = bad habits: when I switch between windows I often use the mouse instead = of C-x o... Then the point is automatically moved away. Maybe I expect = every time the same behaviour. I'll try to keep my eyes open (though = when trying to develop software in many windows and more than one frame = the attention is not on these subtleties). You could also check your init file. Is there something you don't = understand, looks suspicious or obsolete? Commenting it and saving the = file you could launch a new instance and see how work goes. When = desktop.el and/or session.el are used you don't lose much and can easily = correct when having commented the wrong Elisp code. -- Greetings Pete Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top = of things.
