Subject: bug#20921: 25.0.50; `tabulated-list-print' bad logic
Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2015 13:46:26 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9afed6b3-9f3a-40d3-8569-d9d951bdb417@default> (raw)

This new code seems quite wrong to me:

(and remember-pos
     (when (eq (window-buffer) (current-buffer))
       (setq window-line (count-screen-lines (window-start) (point))))
     (setq entry-id (tabulated-list-get-id))
     (setq saved-col (current-column)))

That's equivalent to this (which is clearer):

(and remember-pos
     (eq (window-buffer) (current-buffer))
     (setq window-line (count-screen-lines (window-start) (point)))
     (setq entry-id (tabulated-list-get-id))
     (setq saved-col (current-column)))

Previously, the code was this:

(and remember-pos
     (setq entry-id (tabulated-list-get-id))
     (setq saved-col (current-column)))

When I use the new code, `window-buffer' is the original buffer from
which I call my command that uses tabulated-list-mode. `current-buffer'
is the buffer that will contain the tabulated list, and it is not yet
displayed.  So that test fails, and none of the variables get assigned
values.  This makes no sense to me.

When code calls `tabulated-list-print', the current buffer must pretty
much always be the buffer that will get the tabulated list.  Why the
comparison with `window-buffer', which could be anything and which in
most cases will *not* be the tabulated-list buffer?

This new code looks like it might be a misguided hack to try to deal
with the new parameter UPDATE.  Not ready for prime time, I think.
