You don't give enough info to understand your situation. It doesn't sound like you are starting from `emacs -Q', so I suspect some setting in your init file or your `custom-file' is determining the behavior you see. Try from `emacs -Q', and if you still see the problem, give us a recipe, step by step. If not, then try to narrow down your init file to discover what is causing that behavior. When I do this, I see no such behavior: emacs -Q `C-x 5 2' to get another frame. `C-x C-f foo.el' in one frame. `C-x b f TAB RET' in the other frame.
