Subject: Difference between M-x and call-interactively
Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2012 22:41:44 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d30m9u0f.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Apropos bug:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12218
The bug pertains to focus shifting away from ediff control frame after
pressing `n'. This problematic behaviour happens with vc-ediff and not
with ediff-files. The current findings is that it happens just on my
Xfce machine. (IIRC, I have seen this on Windows XP. I don't have the
Windows machine with me now, so I can't verify.)
I was trying to narrow this issue further and ended up observing
whatever the subject claims.
1. C-x C-f some-file
2. C-x C-w some-file-1
3. Make some random changes some-file-1
4. M-x ediff-buffers RET (some-file and some-file-1). Press n in
control panel. I note that the focus stays within the control panel.
Now instead of step 4 above, if I C-x C-e below form in scratch buffer
(call-interactively 'ediff-buffers)
I see that the focus shifts away from the control panel.
In summary, M-x ediff-buffers gives correct behaviour. But C-x C-e of
the interactive call yields buggy behaviour.
Any ideas on what could cause this behaviour?
ps: I thought I would move the discussion here so as to get more
eyeballs.
