However, a look at ibuffer with ,------------------ | C-x C-b (ibuffer) `------------------ shows, that the selected buffer has been moved to the top of the buffer list, like expected. This happens occasionally, just recently with a dired buffer called with -alR switch. To call a dired buffer with C-u C-x d, to change the switch, I have to turn off ido-mode first (is there a way to avoid this?). Then I turn on ido-mode again. Is that the reason for the strange behaviour - ido-switch-buffer does not work properly with buffers that have been opened with ido-mode turned off? It not really a big problem, but a bit surprising sometimes. My favorite solution would be to be able to change dired switches (e.g. to -alR) with ido-mode activated - is that possible? -- cheers, Thorsten
