It works for me in Emacs 23.1, 23.3, and the current trunk, on GNU/Linux.
I tested with:

emacs -Q -l dired-x
C-x 4 C-j   ; (BTW, your keybindings above seem to be wrong)

Please give a recipe starting from emacs -Q that shows the problem.

Sounds like you are using some add-on that is not part of Emacs.

bug#10004: Subject: 23.1; dired jump other window, opens dired in same window

[Mike Fitzgerald]

Hi Glenn,

I mis-stated the command that seems to be opening in the same window.

Trying to be prompted for the bookmarked dired buffer to jump to.

EMACS behaves as you stated when started with emacs -Q -l dired-x
-C-x 4 C-j works,
-C-x 4 j gives a message "C-x 4  is undefined"

When I start normally
-C-x 4 C-j works fine


The binding is correct however is defined in a differnt lib and command
Here as a C-h k result

C-x 4 j d runs the command bmkp-dired-jump-other-window, which is an
interactive Lisp function in `bookmark+-1.el'.

It is bound to C-x 4 j d, <menu-bar> <search> <bookmark> <bmkp-jump>
<bmkp-dired-jump-other-window>.

(bmkp-dired-jump-other-window bookmark-name &optional use-region-p)

`bmkp-dired-jump', but in another window.

Is this a D. Addams lib??

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

Sounds like a Bookmark+ problem, not an Emacs problem.
Please do this:

1. Remove 10004@debbugs.gnu.org from the To/Cc list, until and unless we
determine that there is a vanilla Emacs problem.

2. Email me directly as much info as you can, preferably a recipe starting from
`emacs -Q' (no init file), loading the Bookmark+ source files (not
byte-compiled).

We'll take it from there, off list, to try to find the problem.

I don't see the problem here, so far.  Do _any_ of the `C-x 4 j' bindings open
bookmarks in another window for you?  I assume that those keys are in fact bound
to the *-other-window commands, but please check (`C-h k').

Thx - Drew.
