I have a quite easy test case: have a directory in dired-mode and have = dired-mode automatically update this directory =96 (add-hook = 'dired-mode-hook 'auto-revert-mode) I think. Maybe bury the buffer. = Invoke for example M-x compile RET and be aware that you want to edit = the compile command or use an already used value from the history (so = you're waiting, contemplating, pressing again and again with little = breaks a cursor key or trying to formulate an expression to search for = in history). Now use a second shell or a second GNU Emacs. In that Emacs = another compilation might be running in that buried buffer directory, = maybe some configure script that produces all the while new files which = dired-mode can detect from time to time. Or, in that shell, cd to that = directory and do 'touch shitty\ file'. In first Emacs the (compile) = command will be overwritten. Similarly when you are composing a string-replace or replace-regexp or = grep-find or ... command and in some dired buffer the number of files or = directories changes, then your work is overwritten. -- Greetings Pete "Debugging?
