This is the exact recipe: emacs -Q Start by evaluating this in *scratch* (display-buffer (get-buffer-create "foo") '((use-side-window bottom 0) (pop-up-window-set-height . 1))) Now do a C-h f INTRO The frame is splitted into two windows, one for *scratch* and another for *Help*, "foo" is gone, C-x 1 does not work from *scratch*, C-x 1 from the *Help* buffer reports byte-code: Cannot make side window the only window >> displayed on a regular window covering half the screen with its usual >> modeline.

C-x 1 should not delete such windows and > should not make such a window the only one on its frame. It seems that Emacs reuses that window for displaying other buffers (*Help*, in the recipe described above)
