Subject: 23.0.60; `buffer-list' returns buffers in wrong order
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 12:00:41 -0700
Message-ID: <005a01c92978$28f92240$c2b22382@us.oracle.com>

Create two files /dir/buf001.txt and /dir/buf002.txt.
 
emacs -Q
(setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t)
(find-file "/dir/buf001.txt")
(find-file-other-frame "/dir/buf002.txt")
(switch-to-buffer-other-frame "buf001.txt")
 
M-x M-: (buffer-list)
 
This returns: 
(#<buffer  *Minibuf-1*> #<buffer  *Minibuf-2*> 
 #<buffer buf002.txt> #<buffer buf001.txt>...)
 
In previous Emacs releases (e.g. 22.3) it returns this:
(#<buffer  *Minibuf-1*> #<buffer buf001.txt> 
 #<buffer buf002.txt> ... #<buffer  *Minibuf-0*>...)
 
The problems are that in Emacs 23 the last sentence in this section of
the Elisp manual is not respected:
 
  Function: buffer-list &optional frame
     This function returns the buffer list, including all buffers, even
     those whose names begin with a space.  The elements are actual
     buffers, not their names.
 
     If FRAME is a frame, this returns FRAME's buffer list.  If FRAME
     is `nil', the fundamental Emacs buffer list is used: all the
     buffers appear in order of most recent selection, regardless of
     which frames they were selected in.
 
That is, the buffers are not in order of most recent selection. The
minibuffer of the current frame should be first, followed by the
buffer that was selected before entering the minibuffer. Instead,
buffers on another frame come before these buffers.

Seems to have been fixed as a side-effect of the changes to
`save-selected-window' from 2008-11-02 and 2008-11-04.

Thanks for the report, martin.
