You probably mean display-buffer does _not_ switch focus with these. > I still think that display-buffer should neither select the other frame > nor give it the input focus. (Whether the other frame should be raised > or not should probably be customizable, but that's a minor issue.) I agree with you but I'm afraid there were issues with this. If you have some spare time please look at the threads starting with http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2006-04/msg00922.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2005-11/msg00107.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-03/msg00946.html respectively. At the very least you will find out that you're not alone. martin
