Subject: cannot switch buffers in minibuffer window
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 15:07:16 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040109140716.7B5C3FCE1@cc.at.coli.uni-sb.de> (raw)
This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
When I want to open a new file and start doing so (C-x C-f), but
then recall that I already have the file opened, and switch to it
with C-x o (buffer names being shorter than full file paths), I
can type in the buffer name, but not switch to the buffer because
"Cannot switch buffers in minibuffer window".
Is there no way Emacs can detect this condition and switch the
buffer in (one of) the main window(s)? I guess the window in
which this should happen is the window the user was in just
before switching to the mini-buffer (information which I guess is
stored anyway, since aborting the command brings us back to that
window).
Thanks.
