Subject: View-quit in *Help* restores wrong window when display-buffer-reuse-frames is t
Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2007 18:28:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <70FBB428-1B37-4C3B-A60D-E3A7139E384C@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: D64B7FD7-2C5F-4A87-8F0B-61EB47217262@insightbb.com
I received the bug report below from an Aquamacs user.
A little investigation traced this to the setting of `display-buffer-
reuse-frames', which, when t, causes "View-quit" to do the wrong
thing when restoring the previous window configuration.
In this case, the second window in the frame gets deleted, but the
first window switches to a different buffer.
The following should reproduce it in a 22 branch CVS Emacs (with
unrelated patches - I tried Aquamacs with -Q) and also in a 23 one (I
tried Adrian Robert's Cocoa port):
(progn
(setq display-buffer-reuse-frames t)
(describe-mode)
(other-window 1)
(View-quit)
)
