I wrote my own sidebar to show various things like files, buffers, tags, bookmarks or search results. For example, I browse tags by moving up-/downwards in the tag-sidebar and, after a short timeout, have the window on the right move point to the location referenced by the tag. This movement is synchronized in a way that the line showing the tag and the line showing the defun always occupy the same screen line. All this worked well but was continuously screwed up by `display-buffer' splitting the right window and breaking my line-to-line correspondence. Now I have sidebar and main window form a window group and the problem is gone.
